>I have tried this type of stencil.  It was made by a company in Canada
called KJ Marketing.  It worked extremely well.  The material is laser cut,
and as a result of the heat from the Laser the walls of the apertures are
perfectly smooth.  The release of paste was outstanding.  It performed as
well or better than a pure nickel stencil.
>
>Alignment was made easy due to the ability to see through the stencil.

>The material can be melted down and used again, and it does not stretch as
much.
>
>You should try it out yourself and see what you think.

>Thanks,

>>           Has anyone seen/used these yet?  They seem to have lower
coefficient of friction  for release of paste and less wear and  tear as
well as  conforming to the board  better     (plastic has better memory than
stainless). Also there is no  mesh  so a larger image can be put in a
smaller stencil size. But, the best is that you can see through  the stencil
for manual and semi-automatic printer alignment and  reduce set up and
changeover times.
>>           Anyone familiar with these?
>>           How long do they last?
