Abstract
The present invention relates to a method of producing stencils, which permits the substantial reduction of time involved for producing stencils, facilitating the producing of stencils and improving the precision with which stencils can be produced. The method comprises the steps of fixing silk stretched over a frame, the silk having a heat sensitive film attached thereof; putting the frame on a flat table at a predetermined position, allowing the silk to cover the whole area of a platen, which is laid on the flat table; and sweeping the screen with a movable heating head to make pores in the heat-sensitive film of the screen, thereby producing a framed stencil.
