Printing Screen Positives

[Susan Stewart]

Can someone tell me the best roll material to print out screen positives for screen printing on a HP latex 310, please? Right now we are using 54" Natura SO800, but we are wondering if there is something better out there that someone else knows about.

I use an epson workforce printer that has 13x19 capability. I get sheet for positives in box of 100 from tubelite. Simplle, quick and cheap enough.

I don't think you will get the opacity that you need using the latex but it's worth a try. Id buy a sample roll of something. Epson carry's a clear film

you won’t find anything that truly works well compared to a dedicated modified epson. Not saying you shouldn’t keep researching but if your goal is printing perfect screen positive you’re 100% going to have to buy a stand alone printer.

We print on our latex all the time... It does a nice opaque black.

I wouldn't do a CMYK 4 color screenprint, or anything that requires super tight registration as the films.never perfectly align... But for stuff like traffic / 2-3 colors that can be a mm off, latex works great.


We use a film from Gans digital.... I'm pretty sure they don't carry roll vinyl anymore, but may be worth asking them about it.
