Trouble washing out image
Posted: Sat Jan 21, 2017 7:26 pm
Hello
I'm new to screen printing and I'm having a lot of trouble washing out my screens. The image will not wash out without a lot of force. By the time I get the image to wash out the surrounding exposed emulsion becomes damaged.
I'm using a 1500 psi pressure washer, ryonet pink photopolymer fresh stuff, 500-watt halogen 15 inchs away no uv lens, epson 1430 all black with accu rip.
My exposure unit / stand has a black surface with 1/4 glass covering the screen. Screen room has led lights with 12 hours of screen dry time.
I've burned images for 3 minutes up to 15 with same results. If I could just get the image washed out I would be rolling. Any help would be appreciated :/
