    Hi.

    Does anyone know of a good supplier of what I know as, ‘RUBY FILM’
    It is for cutting stencils for screen printing. It’s a thin ‘ruby coloured’ film on a transparent liner

    I get it from Spandex at present, but am looking for alternatives.

    I know this is a long shot, as not many use it any more, but thought if anyone knows, someone on here will.

    Many thanks,
    Nick

    Thank you both for your input, it is much appredciated.

    I tried Colenso befroe I posted this thread and they couldn’t match what we’re paying now, and Amari’s Black Mask was something we used to use, until they changed the sizes we could have.

    I’ll keep looking.

    Thanks again,
    Nick

    Hope you can find some.
