Note: Prior to initiating the emulsion application process, ensure you’re working in a light-safe environment to prevent premature exposure.

Unlock extraordinary screen printing outcomes with Murakami Photocure Pro Emulsion. Follow these simple steps to achieve accurate application and impeccable prints:

Materials Needed:

• Mesh degreaser Murakami
• Photocure Pro Emulsion
• Diazo (included with the emulsion when you order)
• Emulsion scoop coater
• Clean drying cabinet
• Exposure unit with photopositive
• Lukewarm water source

How to Use Murakami Photocure Pro:

1. Degrease the Mesh: Apply mesh degreaser to both sides of the mesh, generating a lather. Thoroughly rinse the screen and frame with water, then allow it to fully dry.
2. Coating Process: Set the screen on a stable surface, slightly tilted upwards. Pour an ample amount of Murakami Photocure Pro Emulsion into the scoop coater. Hold the scoop coater at a slight angle and apply the emulsion to the print side of the screen. Ensure uniform and consistent coverage using a smooth, steady pass. Flip the screen and use the scoop coater to apply one coat of emulsion to the squeegee side. For a thicker stencil, apply more coats to the squeegee side while the emulsion is wet. Note: Applying a single coat on each side of Photocure Pro is equivalent to four coats of wet-on-wet application with standard diazo-based emulsions. Allow the emulsion to fully dry between coats.
3. Level Drying: Place the screen in a clean and dark drying cabinet. Ensure the screens are entirely level with the print side facing down. Maintain the cabinet’s temperature below 110 degrees Fahrenheit (43 degrees Celsius). Allow the emulsion to dry thoroughly before proceeding.
4. Film Positive Placement: Position the film positive on the shirt side of the screen, ensuring direct contact with the emulsion. Expose the screen using your exposure unit. Exposure times may differ based on your light source and coating techniques. Accurate exposure is crucial for optimal results. Utilize an exposure calculator to determine the ideal exposure time.
5. Development: Gently spray both sides of the screen with lukewarm water. Wait approximately 30 seconds. Gently wash the print side until the image becomes fully visible. Thoroughly rinse both sides of the screen with water. Ensure the screen is completely dry before proceeding to the printing phase.
6. Printing: Armed with a well-exposed and developed screen, you’re ready to dive into the screen printing process.
7. Final Steps: Handle the screen and emulsion in a light-safe area to avoid premature exposure. Store Murakami Photocure Pro Emulsion in a cool, dry space to preserve its quality.

By meticulously following these steps, you can unleash the power of Murakami Photocure Pro Emulsion to achieve outstanding screen printing results. Elevate your prints using this premium emulsion and bring your creative vision to life with precision and confidence.

For optimal emulsion results, employ an exposure calculator tailored to your setup. Exposure times may fluctuate based on factors such as coating technique, light source, emulsion type, and thickness. An exposure calculator guarantees accurate exposure times, enabling you to fine-tune your emulsion process for remarkable screen printing outcomes.
