need new inkjet film for positives

Post by shirtladydotbiz »

Hey! I've been screen printing for 4 years so I don't consider myself a newbie, and I don't know everything about screen printing...
BUT........
I was using Ulano Dye inkjet film sheets to make my positives......well, as you might know, it is discontinued...
I found some "inkjet clear film" from floridaflex.com but it doesn't work well with my epson 4800 durabrite ink (pigment ink).
I have to print it out twice and then tape the two sheets together...it works, but I don't like using twice the ink and film sheets.
AND I HAVE SEARCHED THE FORUMS!!!!! I don't like the search criteria thingy...it ignores the words I need! LOL

What should I use now??? How well does the vellum work and what's the best to use with my inkjet printer???
Thank you!
Deb

Vellum won't work, you need a waterproof film like Quadra, not sure in the US, try Graphics One

I use a sihl product, but I'm not sure if it comes in sheets.
