Default Re: Newman roller frames

That's all I use. I started out with 6 new wood frames that warped so bad that I couldn't do any multi-color stuff that had close registration. I decided then to use nothing but retensionables. With the Newmans, if you haven't already, get the big open-end wrench they sell. I know it's expensive, but the leverage you get when tensioning the frames is worth it. I've got 6 Diamond-Chase retensionables, and I have to use a crescent wrench to tighten those, and it's a struggle. The Newman's are a breeze with that long wrench. I've got about 30 Newmans.
