Why do I need a film output inkjet printer?Updated an hour ago

The goal is to print films with a dark, opaque image that will properly block light during the screen exposure process. This helps ensure your design transfers cleanly onto the screen and creates a quality stencil.

Do you need a printer specifically designed for printing films? Not necessarily! While some printers are better suited for film output than others, you have a few options. There are companies that specialize in printing film positives for screen printing, and you can also check with local print shops to see if they offer this service. Just make sure they can print on transparency film with the level of opacity needed for screen exposure.

If you plan on printing films regularly, investing in your own printer may be worth considering for convenience and control over your workflow. However, outsourcing your films is a great option when you're just getting started or don't want to invest in additional equipment right away.
