Screen Printing Film FAQ

What type of film is used for screen printing?

The type of film used for screen printing is typically a transparent film positive. This clear polyester film is printed with the design in opaque black. It is then used to expose a light-sensitive screen, creating a stencil for the ink to pass through during the printing process.

How do you expose film for screen printing?

To expose film for screen printing, place the transparent film positive on a coated screen with light-sensitive emulsion. Use a UV exposure unit to shine light through the film. The light hardens the emulsion, except where the design blocks it. Finally, rinse the screen with water to reveal the stencil.

What is transparent printing film used for?

Transparent printing film is used for creating film positives in screen printing. These film positives carry the design or image to be printed, which is then transferred onto a screen coated with light-sensitive emulsion. The film blocks light in specific areas during exposure, creating a stencil for precise ink application in the final print.
