What tension should my screens be for production use?

Because screen tension can affect many other variables, such as squeegee pressure, off contact, ink deposit, localized moire, and registration, it is an area of the process that MUST be controlled. Control does not necessarily mean higher tension. Though it cannot be disputed that higher tension can and will produce higher quality, there is not a standard tension level, except one that can be maintained consistently throughout production on a day-to-day basis.
