Disclosed herein are a system and method for producing paint templates for painting a design on a target surface. The system includes a processor configured to generate a geo-file of paint template designs. The processor includes a design module configured to parse the design into a set of paint sub-designs and a template design module configured to generate the geo-file of paint template designs based on the set of paint sub-designs. The generated geo-file of paint template designs includes a paint template design that corresponds to a paint sub-design. The system further includes a plotter configured to produce a set of paint templates based on the geo-file of paint template designs. Each paint template design includes a set of alignment marks and each paint template is produced with a set of alignment apertures corresponding to the set of alignment marks.

A numbering stencil assembly for painting numbers or words on a curb includes a frame that is positionable against an exposed face of a curb to define a painting area on the exposed face. A pair of first mating members is provided and each of the first mating members is coupled to the frame. A plurality of stencils is provided and respective stencils are positionable on the frame to facilitate words or numbers to be painted onto the exposed face of the curb. A plurality of second mating members is provided and each of the second mating members is coupled to a respective one of the stencils. Each of the second mating members on respective ones of the stencils releasably engages the first mating members on the frame when the respective stencils are positioned on the frame for retaining the respective stencils on the frame.

Deflector units for use with a printing blade in printing a print medium through a printing screen, which are self-adjustable in a vertical direction for controlling production of rolls of print medium.

The present invention relates to a self-aligning stencil device for producing a multi-color composite image on a target surface. The self-aligning stencil device includes a central panel and a plurality of stencil panels foldably connected to the central panel. The central panel includes a solid region and a cut-out region. The solid region of the central panel includes a front surface and a back surface, and is defined by an outer border of the central panel and an inner border of the central panel. The cut-out region is vacant space that is defined by the inner border of the central panel. Each stencil panel has its own distinct stencil pattern and is foldably connected to a different corresponding portion of the outer border of the central panel, thereby forming a connection fold between each stencil panel and its corresponding portion of the outer border of the central panel. The plurality of stencil panels, when folded at their connection folds upon the central panel, self-align to collectively form a composite image, so that painting each distinct stencil pattern with a different color is effective to yield a multi-color composite image on a region of the surface imposed behind the cut-out region of the central panel. Also disclosed are kits and methods for producing multi-color composite images using the device of the present invention.
