Emulsion Best Practices
Screen Prep
- We recommend Ecotex Hyper Haze, it will degrease your screen and give the emulsion a clean surface to stick to.
- Eliminate any UV light from entering the room and work under a yellow light.
- Write down the day you opened the emulsion on the bottle to better keep track of your chemicals.
Coating Screen / Drying
- Use the sharp edge of your scoop coater
- Make sure screen is completely dry before coating emulsion
- Make sure screen is completely dry before printing
Drying
- 86 ° to 104 °F (30 ° to 40 °C)
- 30% to 50% humidity
- Good Air Circulation
Exposure Times
Exposure times may vary, start using the times provided below and make adjustments to time if needed.
5 - 10 seconds with 80W LED Light
- Light source 2-3 inches away from the screen
- Light source under the screen and artwork
5 - 10 minutes with 500w Halogen Light
- Light 14-15 inches away from the screen
- Light source suspended above the screen

This emulsion was not suitable. I have an LED exposure unit. I purchased this based on the recommendation that it is for LED Exposure units. I exposed this with a meter and never could get this emulsion to adhere to the screen properly, even after a thorough cleaning and degreasing. May work for some but definitely was temperamental for me.

I purchased this product with the idea of trying new emulsions out. I usually use Bayslayer from Screenprinting.com. I landed on this one because it seemed to be a little easier per the product description. The product came as advertised with no issues with packaging. The screens were coated and left to dry overnight. I did not take I to account the humidity was high at my shop locationa and they needed a little extra time to dry. Once completely dry I started to expose. One after another kept appearing to be overexposed. I had a hard time believing the 15 second advertised time so I started at approximately 30 sec. I went up and down on time and after about 6 screens I was right back where I started.....using way to much needed pressure to even get any image to wash out. I gave up on it and went back to my old emulsion. After about a week I walked into the shop and saw the rest of the L.E.D. emulsion sitting there and gave it another shot. This time it worked perfect!THIS EMULSION IS EXTREMELY LIGHT SENSITIVE!!The time I was pulling it from my screen storage and setting it up on the exposure unit and then moving it outside to expose it was already too late.The trick I found to work perfect is expose it in "my" exposure unit. (LED) for 15 seconds as advertised and then immediately removed it and took a spray bottle with water in it and wet it down and let it sit in the corner for approximately 2 minutes. Then I relocate to the outside wash station and with normal garden hose pressure sprayed out the image. With this technique I have had great success with amazing detail.Hope this helps you out!Cruze

Pretty alright emulsion. If you are browsing amazon trying to resupply, I would recommend this product. I gave 3/5 for a couple of reasons. First, their burn time is way off unless you are using the most powerful industrial burner on the market. My exposure unit is a Baselayr X1620 LED Exposure Unit; it is a low grade exposure unit, so its in the same ballpark as alot of DIY setups using LEDs or more advanced halogen light set ups. Anyway, my burn time was 3 min 20 seconds, not close to the 15 seconds I was promised. Another issue with this product is that it is difficult to reclaim. Ive reclaimed screens with 3 different types of emulsion, and this by far was the most difficult. It still is possible, just double whatever your normal amount of time reclaiming is. Finally, this is a very thick emulsion. I had to use about 1.5x-1.75x the pressure when coating the screen to get the same result I normally do with other brands. Overall though, it is a pretty good emulsion, and does deliver a faster burn time than other brands. You just have to mess up a couple times before you succeed. Also, highly recommend buying the quart, as the pint goes quick when you mess a couple up in the beginning.

Saw a lot of negative reviews but maybe they’re just not experienced enough with the process.I exposed 3 screens with a 50w UV led with the recommended 15 seconds and it worked perfectly as directed. Really cut down on waiting time.Will order again when I run out!

Don’t listen to the noobs here.I have a diy exposure unit with some UV stops I got on Amazon and some particle board.The LEDS I have 30watts and about 6 inches from the screen. Strips are about 1 inch apart and they cover an area of 20 x 24.Screen exposes in 10-15 seconds just fine.It’s thin so be careful with it dripping while drying.

Easy to use especially for beginners. Thick enough to easily handle. I used my son's 20 watt LED blacklight for 20 seconds. Washed out easily in my kitchen sink. I'm just dipping my feet in the screen printing world and this was 100% better than Speedball's Diazio
