Perfect density, precision halftones, zero moiré
FilmMaker simplifies the most complicated and critical process in screen printing pre-press: producing dense, accurate film positives on a standard inkjet printer. The Ink Density Test Page Wizard hits optimum density with a single test print, whatever ink and film combination you use, while the unique Ink Volume control lets you set exactly how much ink goes into each halftone cell — perfect density without bleeding, with a level of precision nothing else matches.
CADlink's screening algorithms deliver exceptional quality in finely detailed, mid-tone, gradient, shadow and highlight areas thanks to true variable dot printing (multiple dot sizes within the same cell). Jitter™ eliminates moiré patterns and pushes halftone screens beyond 150 LPI on inkjet technology, while In-RIP separations automatically detect jobs already separated in third-party applications. The Visual Production Manager keeps multiple printers and queues under control — top-quality screen print film, faster and cheaper.
Key features
Precision screening
Unique CADlink screening algorithms with true variable dot printing — exceptional quality in fine detail, gradients, shadows and highlights.
Jitter™ moiré removal
Eliminate moiré patterns and print halftone screens in excess of 150 LPI using nothing but inkjet printer technology.
Ink Volume control
Control exactly how much ink goes into each halftone cell — the right amount for dense, opaque films without any bleeding.
Ink Density Wizard
Achieve optimum density levels with a single test print, regardless of which ink and film combination you are using.
Complete halftone controls
Apply halftones with frequency, angle and dot shape settings, or use "application halftoning" to keep halftones already applied in your files.
In-RIP separations
Automatically detect incoming jobs already processed as separations in third-party applications — clean, accurate films every time.
Visual Production Manager
Centralized visual control of printers, jobs and queues — streamlined workflow that saves time and money on every production day.
Multi-channel black ink
Multiple channel black ink support drives maximum black density on dedicated film printers for dark, opaque positives.
Compatibility — FilmMaker v10
FilmMaker supports most of the latest inkjet printers recommended for film positive creation, with new drivers added regularly, and accepts artwork from all major design applications.

Frequently asked questions
Is the FilmMaker v10 software key sent physically?
No. The FilmMaker activation code is sent by email only. You receive your code directly in your inbox after the order is confirmed — no postal shipment, no dongle, no physical item.
How long does it take to receive my activation code?
Usually within a few minutes after order confirmation. If there is a delay, please check your spam folder.
Is FilmMaker v10 compatible with Mac?
No. CADlink FilmMaker v10 runs exclusively on Windows 10 and Windows 11. It is not compatible with macOS or Linux.
What is FilmMaker used for exactly?
FilmMaker converts your designs and separations into dense, precisely screened film positives printed on a standard inkjet printer. Those films are then used to expose screens for screen printing — replacing expensive imagesetter film with affordable inkjet output.
Can FilmMaker handle separations from Photoshop or Illustrator?
Yes. In-RIP separations automatically detect incoming jobs that have been processed as separations in third-party applications, and the "application halftoning" option keeps halftones already applied in your files.
