Animation Cel 10 Field

Compact Composition Cartoon Animation

Chromacolour 10 Field Animation Cels are designed for animators who require a more intimate, focused canvas. Measuring 267mm x 230mm, this format is the popular choice with artists creating cel art and animators producing short sequences.

While these cels offer the same optical quality and 175-micron durability as our larger ranges, the 10 Field cel allows for greater control in specific production workflows, making them a staple for student studios and precision-focused artists alike.

Choose Your Registration Setup

We supply our premium 10 Field stock in two registration formats to ensure total compatibility with your setup:

• Punched (ACME Standard): Pre-punched with precision 3-pin ACME registration holes. Ready for immediate use on Chromacolour peg bars and lightboxes, ensuring absolute frame-to-frame stability for your painted sequences.

• Unpunched: A clean, edge-to-edge sheet for maximum artistic freedom. Ideal for artists who prefer custom mounting, alternative registration systems, or using these cels as a canvas for fine art display and mixed-media projects.

Professional-Grade Material Quality

Every sheet is manufactured to rigorous professional standards, balancing structural rigidity with visual transparency:

• 175-Micron Thickness: Our chosen gauge provides the perfect balance of "heft"—firm enough to lay flat during the ink-and-paint process, but clear enough to ensure high-fidelity scanning and compositing.

• Crystal Clarity: Each cel is formulated for high transparency, allowing you to layer multiple sheets while maintaining the true color and line work of your original drawings.

• Protected Delivery: We understand the value of your work. Every 100-sheet pack is interleaved with professional-grade tissue paper. This protective barrier prevents static, micro-scratching, and dust buildup, ensuring every cel is in mint condition when you are ready to paint.

A Commitment to Sustainable Tools

Chromacolour is proud to support the endurance of traditional hand-painted animation. We maintain a conscientious approach to our manufacturing, selecting raw materials that prioritize quality, longevity, and environmental responsibility. When you choose our professional cel stock, you are supporting a production legacy that respects both the artist’s craft and the environment.

Compact Composition with Professional Registration

This 10 Field Animation Cel provides a more focused drawing area, making it an excellent choice for animators and artists who require compact compositions or are working within specific aspect ratios. Measuring 267mm x 230mm, this format offers all the optical quality of our larger sheets but in a footprint that encourages tighter character focus and detailed hand-drawn movement.

Precision ACME 3-Pin Registration

This cel is precision ACME 3-pin punched, ensuring your workflow remains seamless from the first line to the final Animation Paint application. By utilizing the industry-standard 3-pin system, these cels drop perfectly onto any Chromacolour 3-pin peg bar, eliminating the need for manual adjustment and guaranteeing that every sheet remains locked in position during your production process.

High-Performance 175-Micron Material

Designed to withstand the demands of the studio, our 175-micron thick cel material offers the perfect middle-ground between flexibility and structural stability. It is robust enough to lay flat during painting and drying, yet maintains exceptional clarity, ensuring your layers remain vibrant and sharp when photographed or scanned for compositing.

Studio-Ready Presentation

We understand that protecting your work is essential. To help prevent surface scratches, static buildup, and dust accumulation, every 100-sheet pack is interleaved with professional-grade tissue paper. This provides a protective layer for every single cel, ensuring that your artwork remains in flawless condition until the moment you apply your paint.
