Emulsion washout
Posted: Thu Jun 06, 2019 12:28 am
Hi there,
I am new to the screen printing game and am learning as I go.
I have exposed my screen based off an exposure calculator and seems to be working. However, after a few runs with ink and cleaning the screen down I have noticed the emulsion is starting to washout.
When I coat my screen with emulsion, I only do one side and smear the excess that is pushed through the screen on the other side (not applying another layer)
Is this the likely problem, in that my emulsion layer isn’t thick enough due to being applied on the one side?
