Frequently Asked Questions

Screen Printing Emulsion & Supply FAQ

ChromaBlue is the best-selling photopolymer emulsion for plastisol screen printing. 50% solids, 1+1 coating, 3-second LED exposure.

Hydro X Red and Hydro X Blue deliver extreme water-based and discharge ink resistance. CP Tex is also excellent for dual-ink shops.

Photopolymer (ChromaBlue, ChromaLime): pre-sensitized, fastest, 2-year shelf life. Hybrid (Hydro X): adds water resistance. Dual cure (UDC-ACE, UDC-2): broadest ink resistance. Diazo (CP Tex): economical, widest exposure window.

Both work. Liquid emulsion is more versatile. Capillary film gives consistent thickness, sharper edges, ships year-round.

ChromaLime is optimized for UV LED. Hydro X Red is engineered for 405nm LED. ChromaBlue also exposes in 3 seconds on LED.

AccuBlack is the industry standard. AccuJet is budget-friendly. Pair with AccuInk for maximum UV-blocking density.
