Great question! This is one of the trickiest parts of the process. Your exposure time is crucial. You need to have your exposure time dialed in to have an easy washout like in the video. If nothing appeared on yours, you may have overexposed it. This means that you had it exposed to the light for too long. We would recommend doing some research on the emulsion you are using. If you are using an Ecotex® emulsion you can look on the container label for some exposure times or go to the product listing on our website which will give you all sorts of information for each emulsion's exposure time with certain types of exposure units.
@screenprintdirect I did a step wedge test and figure the perfect one would wash out but none really did. They kinda just stayed there lol n did follow instructions
@@screenprintdirect I worked in complete darkness, except for my red led headlamp, to apply a thin coat each side of my 160 screen. I didnt expose it at all and took it outside at night, again no light except for my headlamp, and hit it with the garden hose spray nozel. Nothing washed out. It was totally unexposed and nothing washed out. Waste of my time and money.
Love the videos and the vibes!
Thanks so much! Hopefully we have something that helps everyone.
How much is the height of the light screen thank you
You are going to want the light around 14inches above the screen.
How did the hose get the image out??? I tried n mine just didnt clear out lol
