Emulsion Best Practices

Screen Prep

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

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

I always keep a quart of this emulsion on deck as a trusted backup. I expose for 18 sec. from 12in. with the speedball UV lamp. My one tip for longevity of the emulsion is to STORE IT IN THE FRIDGE!!!

Four times now, I have rcvd the package and the top has popped off and leaked all over inside the box, which ruins the product as it hardens immediately... and at $100 a pop every couple of months, it makes me very angry. Needs to be packaged properly for shipping! Tape around lid and pack with lots of packing material AMAZON! Do better!

Great emulsion. I used this on a 230 mesh screen with a 20w uv light. I used an emulsion calculator and it worked perfectly.

This emulsion is awesome!! Just be aware of the expiration date and mix it really well for the best functionality! It’s great value for the cost and the product dries quickly, making printing time much faster. On the thinner side of emulsion, which is my preference anyway!5/5 would recommend for any level screenprinter

As described, plus excellent service. This is a thousand times better than photo emulsion with separate diazo solution, bought two and both failed Ecotex Red was astounding to use. Already bought again.

We've been screen printing for roughly ten years now and this is the absolute best emulsion we've ever used. Thrilled to have found this company and looking forward to trying their ink next.

It's okay once you figure the time it's not that bad but you know the timing you definitely have to figure it out cuz if you leave it there for too long with your light it doesn't come off so I decided to just go back to my old emotion that I used to use from Queens New York

This was easy to use and was very forgiving on the exposure time.I will be using this for more jobs to see if it is consistent over time.

I have not been able to get a good screen yet! I am following directions from the site...since there are none on the tub. It's not like it's my first time screen printing either. I spend more time and money washing out screens and restarting. I AM DONE WITH THIS! I had high hopes for this product. If someone wants to give me step by step details of how they got it to work for them please I will not be offended. When I got the product there was a thick clay-like bottom I had to mix in...Is it possible I got a bad batch or is this actually how it comes?
