Mixing & Preparation
Sensitize the Emulsion:
- Add Diazo Sensitizer (included) to the emulsion.
- Fill the sensitizer bottle halfway with distilled water, shake well, and pour into the emulsion.
- Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
- Allow the emulsion to sit for at least 2 hours before use to eliminate air bubbles.
Coating the Screen:
- Use a clean scoop coater to apply an even coat on both sides of a dry, degreased screen.
- For fine detail work, apply one coat on the print side and one or two coats on the squeegee side.
- For thicker stencils, apply additional coats, allowing each coat to dry between applications.
Drying:
- Place the coated screen in a dust-free, horizontal drying rack with the print side facing down.
- Dry at 86°F – 104°F (30°C – 40°C) with low humidity (<40%).
- Ensure complete drying before exposure to prevent undercutting and poor stencil durability.
Exposure:
- Use UV light (metal halide or LED exposure unit) for best results.
- Perform an exposure test to determine the optimal time based on your light source and coating thickness.
- Typical exposure times vary, so test before production.
Washout & Development:
- After exposure, rinse both sides of the screen with cold water using a gentle spray.
- Continue washing until the design is fully visible.
- Allow the screen to dry completely before printing.
Reclaiming:
- Use a stencil remover to reclaim the screen after printing.
- Avoid exposure to excessive water and humidity before printing to maintain stencil integrity.
