Ulano CDF Vision 15 Capillary Film
High-Resolution Capillary Film for Fine Detail and UV Inks
Ulano CDF Vision 15 is a 15-micron capillary film designed for demanding screen printing applications that require extremely fine detail and a thin, consistent stencil. It is especially well suited for UV inks, solvent-based inks, and high-resolution industrial printing where precise ink control is essential.
Unlike liquid emulsion, CDF Vision 15 provides a pre-measured stencil thickness, helping eliminate coating inconsistencies and reducing preparation time.
Key Features
- Ultra-thin 15-micron stencil thickness
- Produces sharp edges and exceptional detail reproduction
- Uniform coating thickness across the entire screen
- Ideal for fine lines, halftones, and high-resolution graphics
- Excellent solvent resistance after proper exposure
- Compatible with UV-curable, solvent-based, and many specialty inks
- Reduces variables compared to hand-coated emulsions
- Easy lamination process for consistent results
Typical Applications
Ulano CDF Vision 15 is commonly used for:
- Industrial graphics
- Membrane switches
- Printed electronics
- Fine line graphics
- Decals
- Nameplates
- High-resolution labels
- Precision technical printing
How to Use
- Thoroughly degrease and dry the screen mesh.
- Apply the capillary film to the wet mesh using clean water.
- Remove excess water and allow the film to dry completely in a dust-free environment.
- Expose using the appropriate exposure unit and test for your specific setup.
- Wash out the unexposed areas with gentle water pressure.
- Dry the stencil before printing.
Why Choose a 15-Micron Capillary Film?
A 15-micron stencil creates a very thin ink deposit, making it an excellent choice when maximum image definition is more important than heavy ink laydown. It helps produce:
- Cleaner fine text
- Better halftone reproduction
- More accurate registration
- Reduced edge sawtoothing
- Consistent repeatability from screen to screen
Storage
For best performance:
- Store unopened film in a cool, dry environment.
- Keep away from excessive heat and humidity.
- Allow the material to acclimate to the production environment before use.
- Use before the manufacturer's recommended expiration date for optimal results.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the "15" in CDF Vision 15 mean?
It refers to the approximate 15-micron stencil thickness, making it one of the thinner options available for high-detail printing.
Is CDF Vision 15 suitable for textile printing?
While it can be used for specialty textile applications, it is generally preferred for industrial and graphic printing where a thin stencil and precise ink deposit are required. Textile printers often choose thicker capillary films or liquid emulsions for greater ink coverage.
Does capillary film improve consistency?
Yes. Because the film has a factory-controlled thickness, it produces much more consistent stencil profiles than manually coated emulsions, helping improve print repeatability and reduce setup variability.
