Indirect Stencil Film
Indirect films offer superior fine detail reproduction; sharp printing edges; uniform
stencil thickness; predictable standardized exposures; close control of
stencil thickness, hence ink deposit; fast and simple stencil production;
and easy stencil removal for efficient mesh recovery. All Ulano gelatin-based
Indirect Films are totally solvent resistant. The topcoat
on Ulano Indirect Films prevents tackiness underconditions of heat and high humidity.
Ulano Gelatin Indirect System Photographic Films provide the ultimate in stencil
resolution and definition. The film is exposed, developed in A + B solution
to harden the exposed aread, (except Ulanolux UP3 and Pulsar), washed out
and adhered to the mesh of a screen. After drying and blocking out, the transparent backing is removed.
All
Indirect System Photographic Films consist of a light-sensitive emulsion
coated on a transparent base or backing sheet, with special adhesives.
Indirect Films, (sometimes referred to as transfer films), are ideal
for applications involving shorter (2,000 - 4,000 impressions) printing runs,
fine details, and excellent definition; and for easy, reproducible, clean
stencil production.
EXPOSURE TIPS
Underexposed: Stencil will be thin (and look thin) resulting
in poor press endurance. Underexposing for resolution much finer than the
job you will print sacrifices durability.
Overexposed: Stencil will be thick (and look thick) resulting
in poor adhesion due to overhardening.
Benefits
- Press-ready stencils in as little as 30 minutes
- Stencil thickness, hence ink deposit, can be adjusted by exposure
- Superior solvent resistance
- Dimensional stability of backing material promotes excellent registration
- Humidity-protective topcoat layer guards against tackiness
under humid conditions
- Completely phthalate free
- Simple handling requirements
- No messy chemicals, no liquid emulsions
- No darkroom or soft-blanket vacuum frame required
- Presensitized
- Stencil can be examined before transfer to screen
- Excellent storage properties
- Fast, easy stencil removal
- Optical flatness of support layer promotes excellent definition for
line and halftone work.

Blue
Poly-2®
Blue, medium thickness emulsion on a 2-mil optically
flat polyester backing. Combines wide exposure latitude with excellent resolution.
Ideal for general screen printing work. Resolution: 75 - 100 microns (3
- 4 mils).
BP2202 40" X 150" 6 13 LBS.
Blue Poly-3®
A blue, medium thickness emulsion on a 3-mil optically
flat polyester backing. Same as Blue Poly-2, except for the thicker backing,
which affords additional dimensional stability and easier handling of large
stencils. Slightly less resolution than Blue Poly-2. Resolution: 87 - 112
microns (3.5 - 4.5 mils).

flat polyester backing. Produces a thick stencil that adheres well to all
meshs, yet has extremely high resolution and definition and wide exposure
latitude. Thin topcoat for use with automatic developing machines. Ideal
for fine line and halftone work and a wide range of electronic printing
applications, especially solder mask.

Green® Ideal for general printing applications on a vinyl backing
A thick, green gelatin coating on 5-mil matte vinyl backing.
The vinyl backing helps hide dust, tape marks and positive
edges very well, reducing the need for touchups. There is a slightly textured
surface to the stencil bottom, allowing easy lift off when printing on smooth
surfaces under humid conditions. The thick backing facilitates the handling
of large format stencils and coarse mesh and is excellent for heavier ink deposits
Resolution: 125 - 150 microns (5 - 6 mils).
