Smooth stencil base sheet, method of producing a printing master from the stencil base sheet and method of performing stencil printing

摘要

A stencil base sheet includes a thermoplastic resin film, with a surface of the stencil base sheet on the side of the thermoplastic resin film having a surface smoothness of at least 6000 seconds. From this stencil base sheet, a printing master is prepared by use of a heat- emitting resistor with the application of electric signals thereto with pulse modulation corresponding to image recording density, thereby forming perforations of a different size corresponding to recording image density in the stencil base sheet by thermal fusing. Furthermore, a monochrome or multi-color stencil printing is performed by using the printing master.
