  • a photosensitive film MS-50FILM manufactured by Murakami Screen K.K., 25 ⁇ m thickness
  • a mixture of water and isopropyl alcohol (mixing ratio 4 : 1) was sprayed by a spray, and after left to stand for about 10 seconds, a squeezee was moved thereon once in reciprocal fashion with the mesh fabric for screen printing being pressed with a hand.
  • a screen plate was prepared by spanning the photosensitive film for screen printing plate on a screen frame by manual work.
  • the tension of the screen plate at this time was found to be 5.6 Newton/cm.
  • the screen plate prepared as described above was printed by use of a posi (lattice pattern) for printing test with a 4 KW ultra-high pressure mercury lamp (distance 1 m) for an adequate exposure time of 30 seconds, followed by developing, drying, back exposure, and the film hardening treatment was applied with zirconium nitrate.
  • the mesh fabric for screen printing 2 in shape of a rolled product prepared was dipped by leading into the bath 5 of the photosensitive emulsion 4 by use of the lamination device shown in Fig. 4, and then completely dried by heating at a temperature of 45°C for 30 minutes in the dryer 6, to obtain a photosensitive film for screen printing plate 7 having the photosensitive agent layer 3a with a thickness of 30 ⁇ m laminated thereon.
  • the mesh fabric for screen printing 2 in shape of a rolled product prepared and the photosensitive film 3b cut into an appropriate size were superposed on one another by use of the lamination device shown in Fig. 5, which were sandwiched between a pair of pressurizing heating rollers 8a, 8b maintained under a pressure of 3 kg/cm2 and a temperature of 90°C to effect lamination, and the laminated product was further cut by the cutter 9 to obtain a photosensitive film for screen printing plate 7 having the photosensitive film 3b of 5 ⁇ m laminated thereon.
  • a commercially available mesh fabric made of a polyester (Super Strong 150 mesh, manufactured by Nippon Tokushu Orimono) was spanned onto a screen frame by means of an air stretcher gauze spanning machine (manufactured by Murakami Screen K.K.) to the initial tension of 5.6 Newton/cm.
  • the photosensitive film was plastered similarly as described in Example C1 to prepare a screen plate having a photosensitive agent layer with a thickness of 2 ⁇ m laminated thereon.
