Produce high-quality positive and negative masks directly from your computer and laser printer! Our translucent direct imaging film is designed to produce high image density with superior toner adhesion and optimum transparency.
Using your computer and a laser printer (up to 1800 dpi) or plain paper copier, you can produce positive and negative line art and half tones without going through the camera step or secondary chemical processing! Grafix imaging film saves time and money in a variety of plate-making applications, such as screen printing, sign manufacturing, plate etching and circuit board layouts.
