  I use a 400 watt metal halide bulb. a 20x24 screen takes 12-14 minutes to expose depending on whether the mesh is dyed or not. I'm using chromaline udc hv dual cure emulsion. I usually post harden my stencils, this makes them more durable and easier to reclaim. The bulb I use is a lamp for growing plants which does emit enough light in the uv spectrum to cure the emulsion. Led seems like the way to go with smaller format screens being more efficient than high intensity discharge lamps. In a high production setting exposing dozens of screens per shift a commercial exposure unit is the only thing that makes sense.

  I put up a very bright LED work light (suspended) over my quilting machine / frame. It was not expensive and was from Home Depot. I prefer using the sun, however living in Oregon sometimes precludes that method. I discovered that the bright light over my quilting frame works very well. I don't believe a "box" is a useful investment, as it is easy to place the screen to be exposed with the image and glass on a black piece of felt in a box lid (like a paper or bankers box for portability) and with a piece of thick cardboard "lid" or cover to protect it from light except when exposing. I place the box lid / exposure "sandwich" on the quilt or whatever I happen to have mounted on the quilting frame (a table would do) and sometimes elevate it a little more with a portable footstool or box. With my iphone timer running, I uncover the glass/emulsion/black felt sandwich for the needed time, then quickly re-cover it with the cardboard sheet, then pick up the whole thing and take it to the kitchen to rinse. It works great and is very affordable.

  Right ta, so curious about this. I just want to set up a couple of screens to print on my own clothes, I'm not starting a business, looking at people calculate exposure times etc I just thought it was too hard especially as I have a brain injury and my maths not there anymore. My question is if using the sun is there a way to tell by looking at the screen or how it feels to know if it's been exposed long enough or is it the case you just have to trial and error it to find the right time?

  Thank you for the very helpful video! I have a few questions that I hope can be answered. 1) When washing out emulsion on a screen after exposing it, can the screen be exposed to UV light in a non-light safe room? The only place I can put my washout booth is in my backyard under a shaded patio area. It is by no means light-safe, but it is very well shaded with shade tarps on all sides. 2) What is the name/brand of the screen holder equipment at 5:06?

• 
  @chromalinescreenprintproducts2 ай бұрын

  If you have a fast-exposing emulsion, this will most likely be a problem. If you have an emulsion with wide exposure latitude you may be okay depending on how long washout is taking you. We definitely don't recommend it, but it may work. We built this screen coating holder ages ago, but if you search for "wall mounted screen coating rack" or something similar, there are options available online to purchase.

  Well in screen printing that's nothing. I was a DIY person. Tried to cut corners all the time. Built a exposure unit. Times where everywhere. Brought a rxp converted it to led and now get 20 second burn. This made a world of difference. Next was the dry cabinet. This seemed to give so much issues. It was a hit it miss. Ran thru so many screens being not fully dry and burning issues. Spent the $3600 and got the dri-vault when I say big difference I mean big big big big difference. I can dry 10 screens in as little as 8 minutes if I'm pre heating the unit.

  Should be able to expose the screen for 45 seconds - 1 minute if it is a dual cure emulsion! Also helps if you put more pressure on the glass thats over the film. Have to think more like how a vacuum system works with adding pressure.

  A couple of years ago, I had an emulsion rep tell me I should be using the sharp side of the coating trough for 195 mesh screens and higher. This is because those are typically the screens we use for gradients and thinner/dark inks. His argument was you don't necessarily want to lay down as much of an ink deposit for a gradient, or even a dark ink (like black) as you would say, with white ink on a 110 or 156 mesh that was coated with the smooth side of the though. We use a dual cure emulsion. Did that rep send me down the wrong path? We fortunately haven't had any issues using the smooth side for 156 and lower mesh screens and the sharp side for 195 and higher mesh screens.

  15 second looks best. Look not only at image itself but the background area around it. 5 seconds dissolves in water jet, 25 seconds has blocked overexposed thin lines, 20 is way too close for comfort, that's why 15 seconds is the best overall compromise. 10 is too close to underexposure. May work at the beginning but won't last.
