Abstract
Methods of making a stenciled screen for use in screen printing an image onto a substrate are generally disclosed. The method involves removing a portion of a transfer coating from a transfer sheet via heat transfer with a printable sheet defining a printable surface. The portion of the transfer coating removed from the transfer sheet corresponds to areas where an ink is present on the printable surface of the printable sheet. The transfer coating can then be transferred to a screen to form a stenciled screen having closed mesh areas corresponding to where the transfer coating is present. The stenciled screen can then be used to screen print an image onto any of a variety of fibrous substrates.
