Chromaline Pro/Cap 18, 26"x30' Roll Cap Film
18-micron pre-sensitized diazo capillary film engineered for outstanding edge definition, consistent stencil thickness, and long-lasting durability when printing fine detail, halftones, and high-resolution graphics.
Characteristics
Chromaline Pro/Cap 18 Capillary Film is a premium pre-sensitized diazo capillary film designed to provide screen printers with exceptionally consistent stencil thickness, sharp image reproduction, and dependable durability throughout extended production runs. Unlike liquid emulsions, Pro/Cap film delivers a precisely controlled 18-micron stencil every time, reducing coating variables while improving repeatability and print quality.
The 26" × 30' roll format allows printers to create custom stencil sizes while minimizing waste. Pro/Cap 18 is ideal for fine detail work, intricate graphics, and halftone printing on high mesh counts. Its smooth stencil surface produces crisp edges, excellent ink release, and outstanding resolution for demanding textile, graphic, and industrial printing applications.
Designed for compatibility with plastisol and solvent-based ink systems, Pro/Cap 18 offers excellent adhesion to properly prepared mesh while providing the durability required for long production runs. The film is manufactured for screen makers who demand reliable imaging, consistent exposure results, and reduced stencil variability from screen to screen.
With its user-friendly application process and dependable performance, Chromaline Pro/Cap 18 is an excellent solution for professional screen printing operations looking to improve stencil consistency, image quality, and production efficiency.
