Screen Print Direct Waterproof Inkjet Film Sheets 13 in x 19 in - 400

In this review of the Screen Print Direct Waterproof Inkjet Film Sheets, the bottom line is simple: this pack is built for small shops and hobbyists who need reliable, inkjet-compatible transparencies for burning screens. The film's waterproof, microporous top coating and 5 mils thickness deliver consistently dark, clean prints that hold fine line detail, and the slight haze helps distribute light evenly during exposure. For anyone who uses inkjet printers to create color separations or positives, these sheets offer predictable results and strong value for volume work.

Key Features

• Designed for Screen Printers: The premium PET base and proprietary microporous coating are formulated to produce clean, dark positives that improve registration and screen burning consistency.
• High Ink Load Capacity: The 5 mils thickness and durable construction accept heavy ink applications so printed blacks stay rich without premature bleeding.
• Even Light Distribution: A slight built-in haze helps scatter exposure light evenly across the image, which supports consistent stencil development.
• Printable Side Detection Tip: The supplied pro tip to wet a corner to find the receptive side reduces wasted prints and prevents smearing from printing on the wrong side.
• Wide Printer Compatibility: Works with common inkjet brands like Epson, Canon, HP and Kodak so you can use existing equipment without special hardware.
• Stability Features: Anti-curl, anti-yellowing, and fast-drying technology keeps sheets flat and durable for storage and handling.

Who It's For

This product suits screen-printing shops, freelance printers, and serious hobbyists who image separations on an inkjet and need an economical, purpose-made film that reproduces deep blacks and fine line work. It is especially useful for users who print medium or high volumes and appreciate the ability to use standard photo or premium glossy settings for best results.

Those who need totally clear, glass-like transparencies for non-screen-printing uses or who require thermal output film should look elsewhere; this film intentionally includes a slight haze and is optimized for inkjet imaging and screen burning rather than optical transparency.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Produces dark, sharp positives that are dependable for burning screens.
• Robust 5 mil construction resists curling and handles higher ink loads without failure.

Cons

• The sheet is not optically crystal clear for other transparency uses; some customers note the film is slightly hazy rather than perfectly transparent.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which side do I print on?
Wet a corner with your finger; the sticky side is the inkjet receptive side and printing on the wrong side will cause smearing.

Will this work in my inkjet printer?
Yes, it is compatible with common inkjet models from Epson, Canon, HP, Kodak and similar printers using standard photo or premium glossy paper settings.

Is the film fully clear?
No, the film has a slight haze designed to evenly distribute exposure light, so it is optimized for screen burning rather than optical clarity for other uses.
