View source for Transparencies

A piece of transparent film that typically displays a positive image. This printing process is typically used during screen printing. 
(Also called film positives)
 
== The Process ==
A screen is first coated with photosensitive emulsion. Then, a film positive is placed onto the screen. Once the screen is exposed to light, the areas of the screen that are not covered by the film will harden. Areas that are covered are able to be washed out and remain soft. This creates a screen stencil used for printing.
