Abstract

In a thermal stencil-making machine, a thermosensitive stencil screen made by pasting a thermo sensitive material on a stencil-making side of a mesh screen for screen printing and a thermal perforator that perforates the thermosensitive stencil screen are relatively moved to each other to thermally perforate the thermosensitive material according to image information. The thermal stencil-making machine includes a residue remover that removes a melted residue generated on the stencil-making side of the thermosensitive stencil screen along a circumference of a perforated hole when the thermosensitive material is melted by the thermal perforator. The residue remover removes the melted residue while the thermosensitive stencil screen and the thermal perforator are relatively moved to each other.
