Fastest Exposure Times
SBQ emulsions expose 3–5× faster than diazo, dramatically increasing screen room throughput.
Sharper Stencil Shoulders
Superior edge definition for fine lines, halftones, and simulated process artwork.
Multi-Ink Compatibility
Plastisol, water-based, discharge, HSA, UV & solvent ink systems without compromise.
Extended Shelf Life
Pre-sensitized SBQ emulsions store longer — no diazo mixing, no sensitizer waste.
From high-volume textile production to precision simulated process — Murakami emulsions deliver the resolution, durability, and on-press performance your shop demands.
