The stencil plate is produced from a heat sensitive stencil sheet having a heat shrinkable film by selectively heating the film with a heating device to form independent dot perforations corresponding to an image in the film, and each of the perforations has a through hole and a rim surrounding the through hole and bulging on a heated side of the film, and the rim has a height that satisfies the following formulae (1) and (2):where h denotes the height (μm) in reference to the surface of the film before heated, px and py respectively denote pitches (μm) in main and sub scanning directions of the heating device. | |
