Stencils
There are two basic types of stencils available. One type
can be made by impression and is thus produced on an
ordinary typewriter or dot matrix printer. Since any
impression will create a design in the stencil, a metal
die can be used to impress trademarks or special logotypes.
The limitation of this type of stencil is that, of
necessity, it must be fine line. Each impression on
this stencil material can produce up to several hundred
Electromarks. These are called die impression stencils.
The other basic type of stencil commonly used is made by
a photographic process. It starts from black and white art
work. Thus any line thickness, broad or fine, and any size
character, can be made. Each design of this stencil can produce
up to many thousands of Electromarks. The matrix, or base,
of the photographic type stencil can be paper or fabric.
Thus, a whole series of various stencils is available for
different applications. They are called perma or electrolast
stencils. It is best to contact the manufacturer for precise
recommendations.
These stencils can be pre-formed into caps which fit on any
size marker cartridge. Rectangular caps usually mark names
and part numbers. The round caps, particularly in the small
sizes, are used for inspection stamps.
