Waterproof Inkjet Film for Screen Printing

WHAT IS WATERPROOF INKJET FILM
Waterproof inkjet film—also referred to as screen printing film or offset plate film—is a transparent PET material engineered for high-precision printmaking. It is commonly used in screen printing, offset plate exposure, and dye sublimation transfer applications.

Key Features of Our Screen Printing Film

Exclusive waterproof coating:

The film surface has a special coating that can absorb water-based inks, such as dye inks and pigment inks. After printing, the ink will not spread or smudge, and it dries quickly.

High transparency substrate:

The film substrate is PET (polyester film), which has good strength, toughness, and transparency, and is suitable for processes with high plate contrast requirements.

High blackess printing effect(high OD value):

It can achieve a deep black output effect, which prevents light from penetrating during exposure, thereby producing high-quality screen plates.

Suitable for inkiet printers:

It is mainly used with inkjet printers such as Epson that use dye or pigment inks and has high printing accuracy.

Frequently Asked Questions About Waterproof Inkjet Film

Still have questions? Here are some of the most common inquiries we get from buyers and distributors.

Q: What printers are compatible with your waterproof inkjet film?

A: Our inkjet film is designed for inkjet printers, especially Epson models. It supports both dye and pigment inks. It is not recommended for thermal inkjet printers such as certain HP or Canon models.

Q: What is Optical Density and How Does Our Product Perform?

A: Optical Density (OD) shows how much light the film blocks. It affects the sharpness and accuracy of the print. Our waterproof inkjet transparency film has an OD over 3.0. This gives solid blacks, clear edges, and less light bleed for better screen printing results.

Q: What is the difference between waterproof and non-waterproof screen film?

A: Waterproof film resists smudging and keeps prints sharp, even with dye based inks or heavy ink loads. Non-waterproof film can blur in humid conditions or when using high ink volumes. Our film offers fast drying and consistent results for professional screen printing.

Q: Can this film be used for applications other than screen printing?

A: Yes. In addition to screen printing, it's suitable for PCB circuit board exposures, UV plate making, engineering transparencies, decal and label printing, and textile transfer positives.

Q: What are the drying times for dye vs. pigment ink on this film?

A: Our coating is designed for fast drying. When using dye based inks, it typically dries in 5–8 seconds, while pigment ink dries in 8–12 seconds under normal conditions.

Q: Can you provide private label or OEM services?

A: Absolutely. We offer OEM options including logo printing, barcode stickers, customized packaging, and carton design. We support MOQ for white-label distribution.

Q: How is the film packaged for export?

A: Sheets are shrink-wrapped, placed in moisture-resistant bags with desiccants, and packed in reinforced cartons. Rolls are foam-wrapped, bag-sealed, and boxed in export-grade corrugated cases.

Q: What quality standards do you follow for production and testing?

A: We follow ISO standards and test each batch of waterproof inkjet film for haze, OD, thickness, curl resistance, coating uniformity, and ink drying. These checks ensure consistent results for screen printing and other film uses.
