Speedball - Screen Printing Ink Jet Transparency Sheets

Screen Printing Ink Jet Transparency Sheets

Print sharp positives for screen exposure without the mess

Inkjet printers produce images dense enough for direct exposure work when you use the right transparency film. These sheets accept inkjet output without beading or smearing, creating the sharp, opaque blacks that photo emulsion requires for clean stencil burns. The acid-free acetate base stays dimensionally stable during handling and exposure, preventing the registration shifts that ruin multi-color prints.

Standard transparencies designed for overhead projectors lack the coating density that screen printing demands. Speedball formulates these specifically for stencil-making: inkjet droplets land and stay put, building up the opacity that blocks UV light completely during exposure. You get crisp edge definition in your burned screens, from fine halftone dots to detailed line work.

Each sheet feeds through desktop inkjet printers reliably, eliminating the film output costs that once made photo emulsion screen printing prohibitively expensive. Print your positives in-house, expose your screens the same day, and maintain complete control over your stencil quality from digital file to finished screen.
