Okay sorry, I thought you were referring to the dry stencil I sell. I don't sell the CH paper. I answer a lot of questions everyday so I apologize for the mistake.

You'll need to check with RhinoTech about that and follow their instructions and technical assistance. I do not use nor sell that product.

The standard dry stencil is fussy at best and it can take quite a bit to dial it in. Sometimes the laser printer is the issue. Other times it's a matter of times, temps and pressures. They have to be dead on for this process to work properly and even then you may have to find out where it works for you.

No all in one process is magic and none will solve all your demands. If the paper is too difficult to work with then I would suggest using direct liquid emulsions.

With that being said many people use it for commercial jobs successfully.

I managed to get it to work using a different heat press. However, after only a handful of prints, the screen started to break down. This is actually worse than the paper never transferring because stopping in the middle of a run to make a screen is huge. Is there anything that can be done to prevent/mitigate the stencil degradation?

I'm not sure. It should last much longer than that to begin with. I would check with RhinoTech for further technical assistance. I do not work with this product on a regular basis. I can only help so much.
