Ecotex® WR Blue Water Resistant Emulsion - Screen Printing Emulsion, 1 Pt

Let me start off be saying I am completely new to coating emulsion, I’ve only used pre coated sheets a handful of times. I bought this with the hopes of saving money. I bought a 300 watt halogen bulb, 18 inches away, (I live in Florida - super humid). And somehow my very first testers came out great. 6min, 8min, 8.5 min, & 9mim. It captured a lot of fine detail. I’m still learning how to properly coat evenly & wash out, but I’m optimistic with how it will work. My gallon came fresh, I followed the diazo directions, it turned green. So far no complaints. Just a newbie figure if it out.

This is great emulsion. I work with mostly water-based inks for screen printing and this emulsion lasts when done properly. After exposure I let the screen dry fully then place it in a window on a sunny day which helps the designs last longer.

Good

This fiasco is only good for a week. Even the lower end dual cures are good for several weeks and even a couple of months if you refrigerate. This one will cost you so much money. I’ve been in the screen printing industry for only 15 or so years but I have never seen anything like this. It is IMPOSSIBLE to reclaim off of your screens even with a pressure washer with more than acceptable pressure and their “specially formulated” stencil remover. Screens had to be re-meshed. Save yourself the misery and anguish and aaaallll of the lost money and buy products from Kolormatrix, Ryonet, or Ulano. I was in a pinch and need something fast. But I will never make that mistake again. This $20 blunder cost me hundreds in time, materials and supplies

It is a great product. I emailed support and they responded quick. I just follow the instructions they sent me and worked. You need to use a 500w bulb. I am very satisfied with the results. I would highly recommend this emulsion.

First off I dont like their times because it's hard to kind of judge with the light you have and little info on it. Did a chart and found my time with my 250w light. switching to a uv bulb and see if any better but when you get it to work it holds up pretty well.

This emulsion was easy to mix and apply to my screens. I use a 500 watt work lamp and 15 minutes as recommended on the packaging was a perfect burn time for my images.
