Trouble with exposure & washout
Posted: Thu Aug 18, 2016 11:38 pm
I'm trying to expose a design that is fairly simple and has washed out fine when I've used it in the past. For some reason now when I've been trying to get it on my screen it just isn't exposing or washing out right and I'm not entirely sure why.
This is the design I'm using
This is what its supposed to look like (lines at the top of the design) But this is what has been happening when I've been exposing it now I've been troubleshooting by changing exposure times, by letting the emulsion cure for longer, getting new emulsion (the one I was using was getting a bit old) and I put a new light in the lamp I'm using for exposing it and this is still happening. I'm using the exact same set-up and all the same materials I used when the design washed out perfectly before so I'm at a bit of a loss for what to do.
I've been looking online for what to do and haven't really found any solid answers so any ideas or help is much appreciated!
