This always trips me up: is the image right reading or reverse reading when using this method? Thanks!

@speedball_art Год назад

The design/image on the screen will be printed exactly onto the print surface. But sometimes, you need to reverse the text to be printed on the transparency film. This way the printed side of the transparency film doesn't touch the emulsion when exposing.

@Speedball do I necessarily have to let it dry for hours why can’t I do it for like some mins and see ? because that’s how the other people do it I’m really confused 🤔

@speedball_art 3 года назад

we recommend hours in that it ensures it will be fully dry no matter the climate in which you are preparing the screen. you can certainly expedite the dry time with something like a fan if you wish to move to the exposure step more quickly. thanks for tuning in and happy printing!

Hey man so I just purchased the photo emulsion pack and my box didnt come with a sensitizer. Just a photo emulsion remover and the diazo photo emulsion. What can I do???

Is there any limit to how long a screen can be kept after emulsion is applied and dried, before I burn my image?

@speedball_art Год назад

Hi, once the screen is exposed and properly cured, it can stay good for many months!

@lisavalentine492 Год назад

@@speedball_art again you missed the question. How long after you coat the screen and it is dry but before you expose your image onto the screen can that screen be held

@speedball_art Год назад

@@lisavalentine492 we are sorry for not understanding your original question. we would recommend exposing the image within a week's time only if the screen can be kept in a temperature controlled and light safe environment for storage during the additional time

I live in Florida, can I use the sun to expose my image instead if a lightbulb?

@speedball_art 3 года назад

absolutely! the sun is a great option, but with likely require some trial an error depending upon conditions. If you reference our Create in Place playlist, Speedball Demo Artist, Dominic Rapone, has an amazing tutorial on how to expose your screen using the sun. happy printing!

i live in new hampshire and use sun exposure! 60-70 seconds.

@Orestesrocha 10 месяцев назад

Hello, I bought a large bottle of emulsion and a sensitizer bottle, I did it per instructions but the emulsion just came off after I attempted to burn a screen and my emulsion looks really blue, do I need more sensitizer?

@Orestesrocha 10 месяцев назад

I exposed with the sun in Arizona, for about 1:20min, and it just started falling of when rinsed with pressure wash. Will more sensitizer help with this?

@speedball_art 10 месяцев назад

I am sorry you are having trouble with the emulsion, it does sound like more sensitizer is needed, once mixed with the sensitizer the emulsion should be very grassy green for it to work correctly.

How does someone troubleshoot the printing to the emulsion paper?

@speedball_art 4 года назад

We can help with any troubleshooting at customerservice@speedballart.com!

@munawarsoomro8958 Год назад

Also, can the film be just any cheap acetate from like Staples?

@speedball_art Год назад

We recommend using Speedball brand transparency for the best results as it has a special coating for printing.

@lucysavage9082 Месяц назад

Hi I am trying to use the speedball photo emulsion kit but struggling with results. After exposing the screen it takes a very long time to wash away the stencil, eventually other parts of the screen are washing away whilst parts of the stencil are still not washing away. Very confused by what this means I am doing wrong? Tried another screen applying more photo emulsion but it dried gloopy, tried another screen with less photo emulsion and yielded same results. Using a Caydo 50W LED UV Screen Printing Light for 8-12 minutes positioned at the same distance from the frame as the width of the frame. Any advice would be much appreciated, thank you.

Is all of the dry emulsion solution supposed to dissolve in water?

@speedball_art 7 месяцев назад

Dry and exposed emulsion can only be removed with the photo emulsion remover.

@Jordina1020 Год назад

How many screens can you burn with the kit?

@speedball_art Год назад

You can always clean the screen and re-coat it for a different design!

@ssolis22 3 года назад

so you don't have to coat the screen in a dark room?

@speedball_art 3 года назад

correct! we do recommend you avoid direct light from the sun, but a dark room is not required.

Save to use on more screens! Store in a cool dark place, the shelf life if refrigerated is 4 months.

@margueritemarinakis84 3 года назад

in the video he says to let the emulsion dry for 1.5 hours, but the speedball book instructions say 4 hours, and now I'm reading to leave it overnight? which one is right

@speedball_art 3 года назад

much of the time for drying will be driven by how thinly the emulsion is applied and what the humidity is like in your studio. The safest bet is to let it dry overnight if you are a beginner. If you are like Brian and have been coating screens for years and/or live in a particularly dry environment, 2-4 hours may be all you need. We always recommend erring on the side of caution with dry time and usually wait overnight with our own prints to be extra safe. Hope that helps!

@artellest 5 лет назад

How long does it take to dry the emulsion?

@speedball_art 5 лет назад

Once placed on the screen, we would recommend giving the emulsion at least overnight to dry in an environment free from light. The ideal dry time would be ~24 hours.
