Comments about Speedball Deluxe Hinge Clamps:

These are great for printing on paper. The best thing about them is the clamp is way oversized allowing you plenty of room to print thick material such as clay tiles, thick signs etc. I use popsicle sticks to set my off contact. I have mine mounted on a piece of 1" thick MDF that I routered out to sink the hinge flat. I wasn't sure about these hinges from the pictures or reviews, but they were cheap enough to try and I'm glad I did. Mine did rust slightly, but I live at the beach and everything rusts fast from the saltwater. They still work great and the rust does not affect them.

These clamps will work well with just about any screen frame. I use them with both wood frame and metal frame screens. They work equally well. By contrast I have some frames with the old-fashioned removeable hinge pin hinges. They work only with the frame they are attached to and can be a challenge to install or remove.

Wood Screens fit flush and snug in the back of these clamps. No chance they might wiggle out of register! I bought two sets.

Comments about Speedball Deluxe Hinge Clamps:

the quality caught me off guard considering speedball's general lack of quality products. The hinges seem to be fairly smooth and keep registration well after a bit of use. You don't need to screw the clamps too tight to get them to hold the screen really tight. The metal seems to chip a little easily if hit, but all in all, excellent product per price point value! (not to brag, but I am very picky and have been printing for 2+ years as the star breakaway student in my classes and I think I can spot a good product when I see it.)

great hinges

Smooth, solid action with no play for crisp registration on delayed sequence printing of multicolor work. The classic design from the 60's seems to be unchanged but for a slightly different casting material. A solid performer.

Used these to print at home and build my own board. Silkscreen stays in place great which is all I needed for great registration

Used for a handmade single color screen press. The clamps are consistent and taper for perfect screen mounting.

Since the clamps are alloy cast and I would be concerned about them breaking.
