What is a screen printing film positive ?

A screen printing film positive is the foundation of successful textile personalisation. It is the first step in producing screen printing screens. A film positive is the printing of a visual with opaque black ink on a transparent screen printing film. This black visual serves as a stencil or mask during the screen exposure process.

How to print a screen printing film positive ?

Printing a film positive for screen printing is straightforward. With the Epson T3200, print large-format screen printing films easily, quickly and at reduced cost.

• File preparation : use software such as Photoshop to achieve solid blacks. Remember to save with a transparent background.
• Print on the refurbished Epson T3200. The original RIP is perfectly suited for standard film positive printing.

Manutech-Print advice : how to recognise a quality screen printing film positive ?

Hold your film positive up to the light. If light passes through the black visual, the print is not opaque enough and you may encounter problems during screen exposure. Use our special high-opacity screen printing ink.

Achieving a quality film positive with the used Epson screen printing printer

A poorly printed screen positive lets plastisol ink through to unwanted areas. This is usually due to the ink used or an unsuitable emulsion.

A dark, opaque print yields the best results when making an emulsion stencil. The darker the design, the more the ink blocks light during screen exposure.

If the design is not dark enough, UV light passes through the printed area. This will begin to harden the emulsion and clog the screen mesh. When the emulsion hardens in your print area, the mask does not wash off correctly and ink cannot pass through the mesh.
