How to install Epson Screen Positive Film
- Prepare your workspace and verify your Epson printer is loaded with the recommended inks and media settings for screen-positive films. Ensure the printer’s media path is clean and free of debris to avoid jams or misfeeds.
- Load the positive film into the printer with the correct orientation according to the printer’s guidelines. Align the film carefully to avoid registration drift and curling during printing.
- Set the print driver to the appropriate mode for high-contrast positives, selecting the highest density and appropriate color configuration to maximize stencil opacity while preserving fine detail.
- Print a test pattern or calibration sheet to verify alignment and density. Review the positive for uniform density, edge sharpness, and any artifacts that could affect the final stencil.
- Allow the printed positives to dry completely in a dust-free area before exposure or handling. Once dry, proceed with the standard exposure, screen development, and washing steps per your shop’s protocol.
Frequently asked questions
- Q: What printers are compatible with Epson Screen Positive Film? A: The film is optimized for Epson professional printers, including SureColor T3270, SureColor P800, and Stylus Pro 4900, ensuring reliable performance within established production environments.
- Q: Is the film water-fast? A: Yes. The positives produced with this film are designed to resist smudging and water exposure, maintaining stencil integrity during processing and use on textiles.
- Q: What fabrics work best with this film? A: It is well-suited for textiles and T-shirt transfers across a range of fabrics, including cotton and common blends. For very high-poly or unusual fabrics, test a small sample to confirm stencil opacity and edge quality.
- Q: How long does drying take after printing? A: Drying times can vary with ambient humidity, temperature, and airflow. In typical workshop conditions, allow printed positives to dry thoroughly before exposure, usually ranging from several minutes to a short period that ensures no print transfer occurs when handling the film.
