Films for Screen Printing Inkjet Laser Capillary Masking Rubylith Amberlith


FILMS FOR SCREEN PRINTERS
ULANO CDF CAPILLARY FILM
CDF Direct Film is adhered to mesh still wet from the degreasing rinse. Water in the mesh absorbs and softens the stencil film, which is attracted (by capillary action) into the mesh. A single squeegee stroke skims off excess water. Usually the stencil is dry enough to expose within 20 minutes. Remove the clear polyester backing sheet, attach your positive, expose and washout with plain water.

CDF-2/UV Capillary Film
20-micron film for fine-line and half-tone work, and critical thin ink-film applications using UV or traditional inks on 300 to 400 thread per inch mesh.

    INDIRECT FILM
    Pulsar™ Indirect Film
    Ulano recommends new Pulsar for all Indirect Film users and Lawson expects it to replace all other Indirect products you are currently using.
    PULSAR is a user friendly dual-cure indirect film system that does not require chemicals or controlled temperature washout. Pulsar stencils can be inspected off-mesh, eliminating time-consuming on-mesh makeovers. Pulsar provides stencil longevity that is superior to other transfer films, and it has excellent solvent resistance to a wide variety of solvents, but not designed for water-based inks. The emulsion is coated onto 75µm (3 mil) optically flat polyester having a special release layer & top-coated for better storage and handling under humid conditions.

    Available in rolls or custom-cut sheets.

  • Blue Poly-3® Indirect Film
    Lawson and Ulano suggest you consider modern synthetic indirect films like Ulanolux and Pulsar. Blue Poly-3 is a tried and true workhorse. It is a blue, medium thickness gelatin-based film coated on a 3-mil optically flat polyester backing. Same as Blue Poly-2, except for the thicker backing, which means more dimensional stability and easier handling of large stencils. Slightly less resolution than Blue Poly-2. Resolution: 87 - 112 microns (3.5 - 4.5 mils).

  • MASKING FILMS
    Rubylith® & Amberlith® Knife Cut Masking Films
    Ulano Rubylith and Amberlith brand masking films are "light safe" knife cut films coated onto a polyester backing sheet. These films can be cut manually or on a plotter to produce masks for film contacting and plate making and film positives for photographic stencil production.
    The backing sheet, or support, provides dimensional stability to the film. Although masking film coated to 300 gauge polyester is predominant, 500 gauge polyester is recommended when the application requires tight registration or the mask or positive is large format.
    Amberlith Masking Film is easier to see through than red Rubylith, particularly when several sheets of film are overlaid to produce color separations. It is "safe" for use with all screen printing stencils, but is not "safe" for use with camera speed darkroom films.
    Rubylith Masking Film is a red masking film, suited for use with camera speed darkroom films as well as all screen printing stencils.

  • Low Tack "Quick Stripping" film peels easily and is best for bold or large designs.
  • High tack film is produces a tight bond between the red film and the polyester backing which is best for fine lines or details.

Sta-Sharp S3S is a fast cutting, fast peeling, green colored film on .003" polyester backing. S3S StaSharp adheres fast, has excellent stick-back qualities for easy corrections. Easy to see through and when you lay it down and it stays flat for perfect contact.
