Custom thermofax screens
If you would like to design your own screens, you can supply original artwork to be turned into custom thermofax screens in three easy steps.
Step 1 – prepare your image(s)
Your images should be positive, and black and white.
N.B. images with large areas of SOLID BLACK are not suitable for thermofax screens. The process works best with images consisting of lines and/or marks. Please see Thermo FAQs for more information about suitable imagery. We are happy to take a look at your image(s) before you place an order and will get back to you asap to let you know whether they are suitable or if minor changes are required - see Contact Us for how to send images to us.
Check the dimensions of your image(s) to determine which frame size you require. If an image is only slightly too large for a particular frame size you could consider reducing it slightly. This is easily done on all photocopiers and some (multi-function) printers.
| Frame | Maximum image size |
|---|---|
| Mini | 10cm x 6cm |
| Small | 18cm x 9cm |
| Medium | 24cm x 17cm |
| Large | 36cm x 25cm |
Step 2 – order for your custom screen(s)
Follow the instructions depending on which payment method your prefer:
Payment by credit card, debit card or Paypal
Click the buttons below according to the screen size(s) you require. Quantities can be edited in the shopping basket and delivery charges will be added automatically.
| Mini screen | £6.50 | |
| Small screen | £11.00 | |
| Medium screen | £14.00 | |
| Large screen | £24.00 |

Payment by cheque
Print a copy of the order form and fill in the details of your order. Post your completed form together with your image(s) and the cheque to the address on the form.
Payment by BACS
Thermofax Screens' sort code and account number are on the order form. Please include your name as the reference when you make the payment. To complete the order you will still need to send your image(s), as well as the details of the order (screen size, quantity, delivery address, etc), by email or post.
Step 3 – send your image(s)
To complete your order you need to send your image(s) separately by email or post – see Contact us for details of email and postal addresses.
By email – pictures or drawings can be sent as jpeg attachments, ideally at 200dpi or above. Text can be sent as either jpeg or Word (.doc) or PDF attachments. Please include the following information in the email:
- your name and address (plus delivery address if different)
- the actual dimensions of the image(s).
By post – send a photocopy of the image or a laser print (images for Thermofax processing must be made using carbon toner and therefore Inkjet prints are unsuitable).
Processing and delivery
Your order will be processed once payment and image(s) have been received, and your screens will be sent to you by post, usually within seven days. Screens are supplied with full instructions for their use and care. For further information see Thermo FAQs.
