Ross

I believe the answer is:

stencil

(Other definitions for stencil that I've seen before include "Cut-out for painting patterns or shapes" , "Model" , "Cut-out pattern for applying paint" , "Method of decorating" , "It helps get uniform print-out" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
