What is a Screen Opener?

The term Screen Opener references a product used in textile and graphics screen printing that helps to open up and loosen the mesh fibers on a screen frame that have been clogged with ink as a result of low or high volume ink passes during the printing process.

During a multi-color printing job or a one-color project, it's important that the screen frame mesh remain free and clear of ink jams! And, the results will be vibrant, sharp designs on T-shirts, hats/caps, sweat pants, hoodies, shoes, card stock, vinyl, plexiglass, metal and more.

Choosing the Screen Opener that's right for you!
When printing with water-based inks only, we recommend RhinoClean Green² SO100 that is biodegradable. For use on all types of screen printing inks, SO105 is a proven screen opener that quickly flashes off the screen without leaving film residue (it's also biodegradable). Featured on the RhinoTech and Catspit Productions youtube channels, these hard-working products are showcased in action!
