Inkjet Printers & Inkjet Inks

The best screen printing stencil starts with the best film positive — and the best film positive starts with the right inkjet printer, the right UV-blocking ink, and the right RIP software working together as a system. River City Supply carries the complete Chromaline inkjet film positive system for screen printing: the Epson SureColor T3170X complete package for 24″ wide-format production shops, the Canon Pixma IX6820 package for budget-friendly 13×19 desktop output, Chromaline AccuInk UV-blocking ink, and CADlink FilmMaker RIP software.

Every component in this category is purpose-selected for screen printing film positive output. Standard OEM printer inks are formulated for photographic color accuracy — not UV blocking. Standard printer drivers cap ink density and cannot produce halftones above ~65 LPI. Our system solves both problems: AccuInk provides the UV-blocking density that sharp stencil edges and fine halftone dots demand, and CADlink FilmMaker RIP drives the printer natively — enabling 150+ LPI halftones, InRIP color separations, and one-click film output. The result is denser, darker film positives, faster emulsion washout, and stencils that hold up under real production pressure.
