Heat-sensitive stencil and method of fabricating same
 A heat-sensitive stencil including a thermoplastic resin film, and a porous resin layer formed thereon. The porous resin layer contains fibers having an average length in the range of 30 .mu.m to 10 mm. The stencil is produced by applying a coating liquid over a surface of a thermoplastic resin film to form a coated layer, and drying the coated layer. The coating liquid has a viscosity of 80-250 cp at 25.degree. C. and contains a resin and fibers having an average length in the range of 30 .mu.m to 10 mm.
