Can I trade-in a different size frame than the size of the frame I want to purchase?
Absolutely! The size of your trade-in frame does not need to match the size of the frame you want to purchase at a discounted price. This is a popular option for manual shops who purchase an automatic press or upgrade to an automatic press that allows for larger screen sizes. For example, you can trade-in an old 20" x 24" aluminum frame for a brand new 23"x 31" frame.
Can I trade-in a different mesh count than the new frame I want to purchase?
Yes! The mesh count of your trade-in frame does not need to match the mesh count of the frame you want to purchase at a discounted price. You can trade-in any mesh count in exchange for any mesh count.
Are the discounted frames that I receive from the Trade-In Program re-meshed frames from other printers?
NO!. The frames you receive from the Frame Trade-In Program are all brand new, high quality frames. Guaranteed.
Why do you offer the Frame Trade-In Program instead of re-meshing screens?
1. Time is money. We want our customers to skip the wait on having their re-meshed screens returned.
2. Quality. One of the problems that can occur with re-meshed frames is that they never hold up to the same wear and tear in the shop as brand new frames. Tension will be lost much sooner with re-meshed frames than it will with new frames and the mesh may also pop-off from the aluminum frame. This is why we offer a huge discount on frames with the Frame Trade-In Program.
I didn't buy the frames from Kolormatrix that I intend on trading in. Can I still send the frames in and receive the discounted price on a new frame?
Yes! You can send in any static aluminum frame, as long as they are cleared of ink and mesh and are these standard sizes, 20" x 24", 20" x 28", 21" x 28" 23" x 31", 25" x 36"
