Do you stretch your screens yourself?

If not, where can you get a screen stretched to a specific newton?

Thanks.

17 seems really tight.. I'd stretch it at around 13 or 14. That's what I normally use for printing flat surfaces...

I use a 40*35 outside dimension screen stretched to 10 N and still have problems getting stuff at the very edges. I don't know how you guys do it at 17 N. I've been having better luchk using the finger hook method on the squeege as of a couple days ago, but I'm a smessy worker so it becomes a t2 person job again with one guy shuffling decks
