The Chromaline Corporation develops and manufactures a wide variety of stencil products designed to help you make a high quality stencil. Chromaline products can be used for a multitude or printing applications. From textiles, to graphics, to electronics printing, we have a product that will help you get the results you need.

Chromaline has a variety of film and emulsion products, each providing unique benefits for your printing applications. Use the chart below to help determine the stencil system that is right for your next job.

Direct Emulsions
Direct emulsions make durable stencils because both the upper and lower surfaces of the screen are coated. However, the emulsion conforms to the mesh as it shrinks during drying, producing an uneven surface. Films routinely deliver better print quality than emulsions.

Capillary and Indirect Films
With films, the flatness on the lower surface of the screen assures excellent print fidelity. However, indirect films have only adequate durability because the upper surface of the mesh is not coated. Capillary films are more durable than indirect films because they penetrate and adhere deeply into the mesh.

Direct/Indirect Films
Direct/Indirect is a hybrid technology combining the best features of each stencil making technique. The Direct/Indirect system gives excellent durability because the mesh is totally encapsulated as with the direct emulsion method. The film, bonded to the print surface of the mesh by emulsion, keeps the print surface flat for excellent print fidelity, like capillary and indirect film methods.
