Dry Stencil Film Step-by-Step Instructions

RhinoScreen2.0 Dry Stencil Film is the latest generation of stencil film. No film positive, emulsion, capillary film, exposure or drying time is needed with this system. It’s just a cool, two- paper stencil system that includes an Image Sheet and a Transfer Sheet.

And, RhinoScreen 2.0 Dry Stencil Film works really well for spot color, one and multi-color printing projects.

Use this film with a wide range of laser printers. We especially like to use it with the OKI c831-TS.

THIS IS HOW RhinoScreen DRY STENCIL FILM WORKS:

Print design right reading in a negative image and this will become the stencil.

• Marry the Image and Transfer sheets together with Transfer Sheet on top.
• Turn back a corner so it will be easier when you start to peel.
• Place parchment paper on heat transfer bed.
• Place Image and Transfer sheets onto the bed.
• Add parchment paper on top.
• Using HEAVY PRESSURE, heat press at 210 degrees F for 10 seconds.
• HOT PEEL by starting at a corner and slowly peeling in one smooth motion.
• Notice that the coating has transferred to the Image sheet. This enables the ability to bond to the screen.
• Next, change temp to 375 degrees F. This Swingman Heat Press will heat up quite quickly. And, it’s got digital time and temp gauges.
• Place screen frame on top of parchment paper on heat press bed.
• Place Image Sheet onto bottom of screen frame.
• Add parchment paper on top.
• Heat press for 30 seconds with MEDIUM PRESSURE.
• COOL PEEL in one smooth motion.     

BEGIN PRINTING by blocking out the outside of the design and have at it.

Again, no film positive, emulsion, capillary film, exposure or drying time needed with RhinoScreen2.0 Dry Stencil Film. And, it’s available in 8.5” x 11” and 11” x 17”.

A Screen Printing Story

After examining every inch of our washout booth (and exposure system, drying rack and dip tank) on our trade show booth exhibit, we heard the audible, cringe-worthy whisper of one (potential) customer to another, “don’t buy it, build it”.  

Don't Make It, Buy It

That statement is definitely not something that a manufacturer or rep of all-things-screen printing wants to ever overhear. But…we get it. It’s understandable in a creative industry where small business owners are used to finding ingenious solutions to their needs when money is tight, especially in the start-up phase of a one or two-person operation.

And, hey, we did this in another venue when the overload of medieval jousting, food (especially the very large turkey legs), revelry and costumes added up to making a fateful decision like deciding NOT to spend $25 for a sparkly, little princess-type, cone-shaped veil/hat because “it could be made for far less money yet, equally as well done". Well, for double the money (or more – lost track of expenses) and about 25 hours of tedious sewing,  the veil/cone hat should have just been purchased - the end. LESSON LEARNED.

And, really, the same principal applies when it comes to the “make it, don’t buy it” sentiment, especially when the story is scary. The worst that was told to us was the customer who built a makeshift, glass shower door washout booth that ended up shattering (no one was hurt). Not much of a savings with that one, but LESSON LEARNED. A RhinoClean washout booth purchased. 

We hope you’ll take some time to review our washout booths in standard sizes and all the other equipment that goes into assembling the functions required of a screen printing business. You’ll be wildly happy that you did, especially because it’s affordable and well-made.

The Versatility of the T-shirt Sets the Standard.

Diane Von Furstenberg, NYC

EXPRESS YOURSELF

We're always re-defining ourselves, it seems, especially when it comes to fashion and the need to be comfortable. So - we propose these stylish, yet, classic looks for evening and special occasions by rejuvenating the going-out dress code. Yes, pair a fave graphic, glam, vintage or rocker T-shirt that is in-good-shape and form-fitting with a long, flowy skirt or flowy pants like on the mannequin.  

For men, the same dress-up-with-comfort appeal holds true especially when pairing a favorite, great fitting, in-good-condition t-shirt under a jacket with dress jeans and cool shoes. Both looks are the ultimate in evening wear from NYC, Gladwin, L.A., Sioux Falls to Miami. Whether on small or grand scales, these ensembles resonate due to their subtle chic and the big comfort factor.

Take the look (at right) to a whole new level by pairing with a black tuxedo jacket. Striking. 

TOOLS for SCREEN and DIGITAL PRINTERS powered by RhinoTech

Easily create a multi-media evening or event look for your customers with the use of screen printed and digitally, heat transferred printed T-shirts and tanks.  By overlaying textile metallic foil, rhinestones and strategic embroidery (that cost just pennies to add, but increase product value), specialty decorative garments will enable your customers to radiate a sublime sophistication or, quite elegantly, revamp their dress-up statement. 

For the perfect, digitally printed Tee or tank, use RhinoDARK™ for all dark garments and SingleStep™ (for light color apparel) heat transfer papers (that work with laser printers). These papers induce a finished product that is very similar to a screen printed Tee and the more they are washed, the softer they feel.

Both of these self-weeding papers offer brilliant color and intense white on DARK and light color garments on Dri-Fit/polyester, 100% cotton and 50/50 blends.

Create these looks for customers with an assortment how-to videos that describe technique. And, premiere equipment and products that include: manual, textile screen printers, conveyor and flash dryers, drying cabinets, screen stretchers, pre-stretched screen frames with excellent mesh counts, screen cleaning equipment, screen frame glue, screen cleaning products including soy and citrus-based chemicals, automatic ink removal systems (and much more) and screen printing supplies available from RhinoTech.

 is available on all orders of $50+ when delivered in the contiguous U.S.A. (and we do ship world-wide).

MAKING ART AFFORDABLE FOR THE PEOPLE.

Offering up the Pro's of Digital Printing.

1. Stand-Out - no blending in allowed. Print one or a hundred of a specialty design or five different images on apparel or multiple-types of hard surfaces. This is a simple process that isn't costly or extra time intensive. It's a way for embroidery and screen printing shops to diversify, add service streams and never let a customer walk out of the shop unserved.

Digital prints produce precise images with sharp detail and crisp, rich color. Black and White prints are bold. 

2. A short-run printing solution. Digital printing solves a problem for a customer who just wants one shirt, 2 caps, 5 plaques, 10 mugs or 3 sports bags that are customized. 

3. Offers an immediate solution to a silk screen printer who has completed a large order, waits 3 months to clean the screen after which the customer calls and NEEDS 50 MORE SHIRTS OF THAT VERY DESIGN. What's a screen printer to do? ANSWER:  Replicate the image using heat transfer paper and create digitally printed shirts that look and feel as if they had been screen printed. To achieve this use, for example, SingleStep™ (for light color garments using a laser printer) and RhinoDARK™ (for DARK fabrics using a laser printer). Add in a QUALITY HEAT PRESS and an OKI printer.

4. Digital printing set-ups can be extraordinarily inexpensive with transfer paper being highly affordable.

5. Use of OKI laser printers especially designed for the decorative apparel industry. Make photo, art design and other specialty transfers that offer appealing graphics.

6. Good washability factor on garments. 

7. Lessens the impact on Mother Earth. Paper is recyclable.

The Best T-Shirts for Women and Men.

Yes, women still want great looking Tees. We know you know this, because you're involved in the industry (or want to be) and you understand that Tees are staples in all casual, work and/or evening environments. When paired with heels and jeans, worn under a jacket for work or in tandem with a black chiffon evening skirt, the t-shirt becomes an indispensable wardrobe piece. No matter the occasion, it's significant that, at all levels, the shirt should not be too baggy and not overly form fitting. It just needs to be a figure flattering, soft V-neck or crew that features a bit of bling (or not) and a great looking design. 

And, news flash, guys want great Tees, too, according to us and a piece written by Hilary Reid, "The Best Men's White T Shirt, According to Men". From the Hanes standard and tagless 5-pack white tees to H&M V-necks, the classic Calvin Klein to high-end designer white Tees, the common factor is fit and feel.
