Film for Stencil Making

 
 

Drafting film

Drafting film with thickness as 90 micron and dimension of 102 cm. x 30 meter. Used for making artwork especially for textile printing and other works. It allows opaque ink to be used on the film without distorting its share and the artwork can be for a long time.

 
 

Capillary film

Capillary film uses diazo or dual-cure type emulsion to put on film and has good stencil durability. Different films are designs for different inks. It gives a good balance of thickness and definition. It saves time to put capillary film than the normal way of coating emulsion numerous time. It also gives consistency in controlled thickness all the time. Examples are Ulano Vision-15, Vision-20, Vision-30 with thickness of 15, 20 and 30 microns respectively. For Murakami are MS-12, MS-15, MS-20, MS-30 and MS-50. Thick films are Ulano CDF-QT100, CDF-QT150, CDF-QT200, CDF-QT250 and CDF-QT400 with thickness of 100, 150, 200, 250 and 400 microns respectively.

 
 

Indirect-direct film

Indirect-direct film has emulsion that does not contain any sensitizer coated on film. It is attached onto the stencil with the help of emulsion mixed with sensitizer. The stencil will become more durable. It is suitable for mesh count of 90 threads per centimeter or lower to give thick film without sacrificing the definition. They are Ulano 200PR with 20 microns thick and Ulano 300PR with 30 microns thick for name cards, envelopes or work with good definition needed.

 
 

Polyester film

A61 transparent polyester film with thickness of 100 microns and dimension of 100 cm.x 40 meter. Used for making artwork especially for textile printing and also for backing up other in films making layout.
