Film Positives

Film positives onto acetate to use when exposing your screens. These use UV resistant ink on a clear film called ‘colour separation film’ which is designed for exposing your image onto a screen.

A good exposure starts with good artwork and therefore crisp film positives.

Acetate can be used for a number of craft techniques. They can be used to create stencils for screen prints but can also be used as a ‘window’ layer.

Acetates can also be used to create full colour collaged images which work very well.

File Preparation for Screen positives

Images for acetate should be provided scaled to the correct size at 300dpi, in either greyscale or bitmap and saved as any Photoshop bitmap format files.

Illustrator files should be at the correct scale in black only and saved as Illustrator CS3.

Check that all blacks are 100% black using the info box in Photoshop, some images may benefit from being bitmapped.

If you want registration marks on your Acetates, don’t forget to put them onto your artwork.
