1. Description of the problem

You printer is leaving big stains on your transparent film or your stencil is not as precise as you would like it to be.

2. Possible origins

    • You are trying to use a laser transparent film into an inkjet printer or the other way around.
      • Your file isn't of good enough quality for the size of the stencil.
