I just want a fresh sheet of fabric because the first one was from when I had just begun printing.

  1. If the existing screen is not damaged, is there a reason you are replacing it?  

    You will need a piece of replacement screen, which I assume you already have.  You probably have a paper tape seal wrapping the bottom of the frame.  Remove this without damaging the screen or the frame.  You should have a groove with a small piece of cord inserted into it which secures the screen into the frame.  Study it as to how it holds the fabric and the direction of the weave.  Remove the cord, remove the fabric, place a new piece of fabric over  the frame, and begin to press the cord into the groove, keeping the fabric taut and straight as you go.  

    Re tape the bottom and prep the inside corners to seal, and you are ready to go.
