The computer then transmits instructions to the automated cutting table, directing the creation of a field stencil with a dotted guideline hole pattern. Such field stencils allow for the reproduction of multi-color logos using a single stencil. | 04-28-2011 |
20110297021 | PHOTOSENSITIVE STENCILS & METHODS - An photosensitive stencil includes a porous stencil carrier that can be a sheet of woven material with crisscrossing filaments. The stencil carrier is coated with a photopolymer emulsion that is water based to form a stencil blank. A pressure sensitive adhesive may disposed on one surface of the emulsion either as a continuous film, in which case the adhesive also is photosensitive, or in the form of spaced and unconnected microdots, in which case the adhesive need not be photosensitive. Alternatively, no adhesive need be applied. In use, a light mask is disposed atop the stencil blank. The light mask can be contained on a sheet of paper or a transparent film. Alternatively the stencil blank is fed through an inkjet printer and the light mask is printed directly onto the stencil blank using common inks. The stencil blank is then exposed to light for a few minutes, which cross-links the photopolymer emulsion in unmasked regions. After exposure, the stencil blank is developed by being washed out with water. The water removes emulsion and adhesive, where present, within areas that were masked by the light mask, revealing open or open regions through which ink or paint can be applied. The adhesive, where present, allows the stencil to stick removably to a surface during decoration. Where no adhesive is present, the stencil may be mounted in a relatively flexible adhesive frame that holds the stencil to a surface. | 12-08-2011 |
