Hi people! I'm translating a movie script from Spanish to English and the character in the scene wants to make a "shablon" (a device used to work in serigraphy) I can't find the proper way to translate it: which is the proper way to name it in English? Is it stencil?
TIA and have a great day!

By extension, the term may be applied to silkscreening, in which case I would go with just "stencil" unless you have evidence that the term "chablon stencil" is idiomatic usage in English.

Discussion
It could be 'a frame' if it is talking about the use of the chablon, which needs guides on each side to slide from-to, like in the video clip on this page. (You don't have to do it like that, but it is certainly a neat method!)

However, if the the character is making the frame in order to make the stencil itself, then 'mould' or 'pattern' may actually be better.
