Effective mesh preparation is critical for maximising the print life of any screen printing stencil. Abrading the mesh is a crucial step for all screen films such as Capillex or Five Star.

Five Star indirect film is still the quickest way to make a high quality stencil for screen printing. Five Star is used for many short run high quality screen printing applications such as PCB prototyping, nameplates and short run graphics.

Coating Ultra Thick stencils for screen printing 3D or high build inks onto textiles is made easier and quicker using PLUS 9000. This step by step guide shows how to make a high build stencil.

This video shows a simple way that a conventional coating machine can be used to help apply Capillex capillary film without any form of modification. Capillex film is used in conjunction with the Capillex Caplicator and Capillex Laminating Fluid to … Continue reading →

Ultra thick screen printing stencils can be made very quickly by multilaminating several sheets of Capillex capillary film together. 160 or 240 micron thick stencils can be made in just a few minutes by following this simple technique. Ideal for … Continue reading →

Effective mesh preparation is critical for maximising the print life of any screen printing stencil. Degreasing the mesh is a crucial step for all screen stencils such as PLUS emulsions, Capillex capillary films or Five Star indirect film.

An automatic coating machine is a standard piece of processing equipment in many screen printing facilities. When used in conjunction with PLUS emulsions they can help you produce repeatable, high quality screens.

Hand coating small format screen printing screens is easy with PLUS emulsions. Follow this simple guide to get the best result.
