Our PAPER STENCIL product is specially designed and manufactured to allow customers to quickly and easily create their own temporary stencils on demand, ideal for applications with variable information. Stencil Paper can be used to create etching stencils with the use of either a typical impact style typewriter or with our Model 9300 Series Stencil Imprinter. The Stencil Imprinter is a computer controller Dot Matrix device very similar in design to a conventional Dot Matrix Printer commonly used for regular paper and identical in terms of operation. The Imprinter serves as a slave to your computer and can print text and images from pretty much any application software including Microsoft Word, Corel Draw and/or AutoCAD to name a few.

The Stencil Imprinter is outfitted with a custom Heavy Duty 24-Pin Print Head designed to offer the ideal impression on both the standard and DEEP ETCH Stencil Paper products. The Imprinter is also outfitted with a slightly different carriage assembly and a special ribbon assembly. The ribbon assembly is the only consumable, periodically requiring replacement much like a conventional printer over time aside from the Stencil Paper itself.
 

When an impression is made on the Stencil Paper using either a Typewriter or the Model 9300 Series Stencil Imprinter, a stencil could last anywhere from 3 or 4 markings to potentially around 20+ markings if applying a basic surface etch and it is all depending on the technique used, environment and handling of the stencil. When DEEP ETCHING, each image is usually only good for one marking.

Tractor Feed Stencil Paper is available in two widths 2-1/2” wide and 3-3/4” wide. The dimensions mentioned are the actual usable (blue) portion of the paper and does not include the white tractor feed portion.

Stencil Paper should be stored in a cool dry and dark location. Avoid leaving the paper in bright ultraviolet light for any long periods of time if not necessary.
