Screen Print Direct Waterproof Inkjet Transparency Film Roll 36in x

Our review of the Screen Print Direct Waterproof Inkjet Transparency Film Roll finds it aimed squarely at screen-printing shops and home studios that need a dependable, printable transparency for burning screens and making stencils. The single biggest reason to buy is its purpose-built coating and 5 mil PET construction, which produce dark, even images with good line definition so screens register reliably. For users who print separations on common inkjet printers and need anti-curl, fast-drying film that holds ink well, this film delivers consistent results.

Key Features

• Premium PET construction: The 5 mil thick base gives durability and stability during handling and screen exposure.
• Microporous top coating: The proprietary coating accepts high ink loads for dark, sharp images ideal for burning screens.
• Built for inkjet printers: Compatible with Epson, Canon, HP and many other inkjet models so you can use existing equipment.
• Anti-curl and fast-drying: Built-in anti-curl and quick dry properties reduce post-print handling issues and speed workflow.
• Slight haze for even light distribution: The film's subtle haze helps disperse light for a more consistent burn across the stencil.
• Economical 4 pack: Four rolls of 36in x 100ft provides good value for busy shops and repeat jobs.

Who It's For

This product is best for screen printers and small production shops that use inkjet printers to create color separations and need a waterproof, reliable transparency for burning screens. It suits users who value dark, consistent prints and want film that resists yellowing and curling over time.

It is less appropriate for those who need fully clear, crystal-transparent film for projection work or for printers that require specialty glossy media settings not supported by the film. Buyers should also verify printer feed compatibility with 36in rolls before purchasing.

Pros & Cons
