Cutting out stencils is sooo laborious. Does anyone know of a technique or method using clear film, inkjet printing reverse image and etching out the non inked area with a chemical? Laser cutting is expensive. I want to transfer images to canvas without using transfer paper or decal paper.

Don't know about anything to etch, but have you seen a stencil burner before? It makes cutting out stencils much easier. Here's a link to see what I'm talking about. http://www.reuels.com/reuels/product3226.html

I don't know any etching method but there are some easier cutting out gadgets.
The Olfa double bladed stencil cutter ref SC1 has - you guessed it- a double blade so you only need to cut once. It can be spaced at 1mm, 1.5mm or 2mm rrp £4.35. Find it at stationers. It is sold to the trade by the Pilot Pen Co. so if you can't find one ask a stationer selling Pilot pens if they will order it for you.
Cut-master stencil cutting kit ref. SCK-01 rrp £42.95 includes hot 'angled-tip' stencil cutter with burn proof cable and fitted mains plug, double sided heat resistant A4 cutting board, 4 acetate A4 stencil blanks & instructions. Accessories spare stencil cutting tip £7.60 and pack 5 acetate stencil blanks £6.50 - you can use thick book cover acetate around 240-250 micron
which should be a lot cheaper. This machine can also double up for use with encaustic art. Probably not easily found as a stock item, we sell about two a year and get them from a trade wholesaler called Magna Craft. You could try calling them on 01730 810055 to find out if they have a local stockist.
Rubber stamp manufacturers can produce stencils on oil board or metal if you need something permanent. Price would be high if it is a large area.

With every day pass, our country is getting into more and more trouble. The inflation, unemployment and falling value of dollar are the main concern for our Government but authorities are just sleeping, they don’t want to face the fact. Media is also involve in it, they are force to stop showing the real economic situation to the people. I start getting more concern about my future as well as my family after watching the response of our Government for the people that affected by hurricane Katrina.
