20080282914 | Fabric printing system, stencil kit, and method - A fabric-printing stencil system includes a first stencil plate with a continuous incision that defines a first stencil image dividing said first stencil plate into a positive image plate and a negative image plate. The negative and positive image plates are complementary to form the entire plate, except for the relatively narrow incision. The positive and negative image plates clamp a piece of fabric such that the positive image plate lies underneath and the fabric is stretched across the positive image plate, while the negative image plate lies above the fabric and covers the fabric, or vice versa. A second stencil plate has a second stencil image matched to the first stencil image and the first and second stencil images together define a completed image when printed on the fabric. The stencils are preferably cut by way of a laser from corresponding stencil plates and the images are printed by roller, brush, and spray application. | 11-20-2008 |
