- How to prepare a screen for screen printing using photo emulsion and diazo sensitizer included in both Jacquard Products' Professional Screen Printing Kits. From mixing and applying the light sensitive emulsion through burning an image and rinsing the screen, all aspects of preparing a screen are covered. In a second video we will demonstrate screen printing.

We recommend mixing up the entire bottle of emulsion. Once mixed, you should store it in a cool, dark place. If you store the emulsion in the refrigerator, it will stay good for several months at least. The hotter it gets (and if it is exposed to too much light), the faster it will expire.... I hope this helps!
Good question! Just stir well and you're good to go. The act of laying it on the screen will bring the temperature up.
Hope this helps!
The sensitized emulsion is good in the bottle for at least a month. Keep it refrigerated or in a cool, dark place, and it can last much longer than that.
Whoever this host/narrator is...well done! :)
Excellent job . I like how you do it . I dont know about the tape .
Unless you plan to use the whole amount of emulsion within a 3 month period, divide the 8Oz of the photo emulsion in 4 different containers as well as the water-dissolved sensitizer so when you finish one container, you still have 3 more to use not worrying about expiration times. This way you always have fresh new emulsion even 2 years after you purchase it.
good idea, make sure lightproof containers
Great idea! Thanks.
Thank you
Thanks dude!

Thank you very much! For several months or at least 30 days is a great expiration time frame! I hope to keep uploading great video tutorials. Cheers.
great job it is a learning curve you have to do it a few times to get it right i use a bright work light 12 inches away five minutes to expose but it takes practice i like your method thanks
About an hour, depending on conditions. Use a fan or blow dryer to speed things along.
really helpful as done lots of screen printing but never had to prepare the screen before. shame we cant see your face though!

We're glad you enjoyed the video and are happy to answer your question.
It really does only take about 10 - 30 seconds in the sunlight. The variation in time takes into account time of day, time of year, clarity of the sky, etc.
We'd love to see what you print! Feel free to share on our Facebook page as well.
We hope to be posting many more videos here soon!
I love this video simple but awesome.
I use a 250 watt halogen work light.(can buy it at lowes or Home Depot) and I expose works up to 24 x 24 for 6mins with no problem. I put the light about 24 inches above the screen to be exposed. I'm using diazo emulsion to coat the screen( this is emulsion that needs to be mixed)
Thanks! This is information that should have been covered in this video. She should have told us how to expose it indoors.
Beautiful video! Tomorrow will be my first time. Thank you!
@ashDgreat007 Drying time very much depends on ambient temperature and humidity, however, unless it is very cold and damp in your drying area it should take between 30 and 90 minutes. I've found placing a fan in the dark room where I dry the screens speeds the drying time.
@bc music channel Please give us a call or email techsupport@jacquardproducts.com and we'll be more than happy to help
Liking just for the Mexican music in the background 😆
Lyellong, it is not recommended. The sensitizer works as a catalyst for the emulsion, allowing it to react to light much faster. It is possible to burn a screen without the catalyst, but your exposure time would be MUCH, MUCH LONGER. Using the sensitizer allows for more practical screen burning times...
Great tutorial, thanks!
Lady without a face, Very helpful video!! :) After all of that, would have loved to see you follow through and do a quick print on a shirt.. :(
If you keep it refrigerated, it will keep a very long time (several months at least). The warmer it gets, or if it is exposed to too much light, the faster it will expire...
Creative thinking at its best.
can anybody tell me how long does it take to dry the screen with the photo emulsion on it?.
did everything as instructed mixed, coated screens, burned image to emulsion everything came out nice on 160 mesh, I did test print test print looked good started printing T-shirts and emulsion started dissolving in fine lines then after fourth t-shirt bigger lines start sawtoothing around edges used 5 screens to do 15 t-shirts This emulsion does not hold up with using speedball ink. Sorry But i have to call it like i see it.
So satisfying to watch this awesome vid... Its perfect 💖
good vybz758 just line u
My sensitizers like a brick rock I’ve been mixing it for the last 20 minutes and it has barely dissolved into the water. I know that because when I shake it, I feel what feels like a rock just jiggling off the sides.
Thanks for your helpful tips.
After the print is finished, do you have to iron it? Or does that depend on what type of ink you have?
has anyone used this to expose halftone images if so what mesh count and how long did you expose it for?
Our Jacquard Screen Inks can be heat set or you can add a fixer to the ink before printing.
This was incredibly helpful! Do you have a video on how to actually do the silk screen printing with this kit? Thanks!

great video
THIS IS AWESOME ITS OUT OF SIGHT YEA
Thanks heaps for your video, I really got alot out of it, especially the use of the sun! and yes, I'd like to see your face too! :)
Didn't get a booklet so glad I found this to reasure my dumbass into doing this
This was helpful, but leads to some questions...
Why duck tape and not painters tape? Why do the front and back of the screen, when the ink only interacts with the front? Why not use a scoop coater?
lol shit got silly from 6:20 to 7:52. idky I laughed when she bent down to get the frame
good, sister
definitely avoiding showing her face on camera
Do you work for a living?
tKoQ she don’t want people to know who she is. It was funny tho I watch it two time that part to see if it was what I was thinking and bam yes😂
can you reccomend any techniques cause most of what i'm finding are techniques that take days and ones that are just tough to do at home.. Cyanotypes seemed quite quick to me
Thanks for help
P.s. have you ever printed on wax?
Women make things sound so much easier than a guy TY
Hi, just a question as I am trying to learn to do this.. if I put the emulsion in the fridge and go to use it again, do I need to let it come back to room temperature first? Do I need to stir or shake the emulsion again. Thanks for any information.
Hi . very good videos and lessons, a favor, I'm from Argentina and I would ask if there are possibilities to translate the videos into Spanish! a big hug !
thanks for this information
I am having some difficulty with applying the emulsion to the screen. In the video it smooths out nicely, when I try it seems to soak in and not really spread, no matter how much I work at it. The first screen I tried making had a lot of runs after it dried. I'm wondering if my mesh is too wide (110) or my screen isn't tight enough (hand made). I'm using a speedball fabric squeegee to spread the emulsion.
+Anthony Ball sounds like you might just be applying too much emulsion. The idea is to use as little as possible and to spread it as far as it will go on the screen. Excess emulsion should be returned to the jar. Use the squeegee to work a small amount of emulsion, spreading it as much as you can before using more. If the mesh isn't taught enough, you may have trouble. The screen in this video is also a 110 mesh.
+jacquardproducts My second screen went better, but I had to scrape and scrape and scrape to spread it around thin enough. Every video I've watched shows people effortlessly spreading the emulsion but mine seems to be very stubborn. Maybe I didn't use enough water in the sensitizer (though that seems like an awful small amount to make a difference)
Anthony Ball are you using a Jacquard screen, Speedball screen or another brand?
+jacquardproducts it is homemade and hand stretched. I had wondered if tension may have something to do with it, it's pretty tight, though
an emulsion coater makes it very easy! i would suggest one because it takes one swipe
How long does it take to dry? Thanks!
What amount of darkness is it needed, when applying the photocoat
Indoors away from sunlight should be fine
After the emulsion and sensitizer are mixed up (and left to mix for one hour) how long is the jar good for? I have three different designs I want to do and only one screen. Do I have days to work with this or only hours?
im a lil confused does the design go on the interior or exterior of the screen
+mark f - exterior - The screen mesh side , rather than inside the frame
Sue Dudman Westergaard ty very much
How much longer? I did cyanotypes once and that was 11 minutes.. 30 seconds seems fast.. Would it be like 2 hours or something?
Can someone tell us please how much it will last the mixed mixed photo emulsion? Can we mixed just the quantity that we want to use?
That's one way of doing it. It all depends on how you want it to look :)
Hello i just watched your video five mins ago. Just wondering if what ink is usually required to the transparency paper ? 😊
is it possible to use the photo emulsion on the screen without mixing it up with a sensitizer?
COO THANK FOR THIS TUTO
Link to Part 2? Can't seem to find it in other videos.
very helpful....

Gd job
How long does the emulsion and light sensitive mix "keep" once mixed?
I think it is better to use a brush.
then use the squeegee to remove the excess
👍👍🇩🇿🇩🇿
Fantastic
What are the things you need in preparing a screen

Why you mix color?
nice printing
Thankx
How to copy my pic. Or whatever I want on that transparent plastic sheet?
Good Job
did you put a photo hardener on the emulsion????
Hi There,
How Much Emulsion Will Be Required For A3/A4 Size Screen In Mili Liters ?
thanks for the tip. nice belt
what is that sheet called already fixed on frame?
pls tell me the two chemicals name. how can I buy it from bangladesh?
What happens if my emulsion looks to dark. Also what happens if i leave the the photo to burn for to long?
If you over expose the screen, you may lose detail, as some areas of the stencil will not wash out.
How about a red light...?
The emulsion is only sensitive to UV light. So red lights should be safe!
What type of transparency did you use, what type of printer did you use?
We offer the highest quality film: www.jacquardproducts.com/solarfast-film.html
It can be used in any inkjet printer.
Where is the part 2
i think that grey tape is duct tape.. ~_~
how many hours does it takes to make your screen dry from photo emulsion?
Once mixed both solutions, how long will it last before getting damaged? :)
several months if refrigerated, otherwise about 1 week
Which colour and chemical u use in the jar
Jacquard Photo Emulsion: www.jacquardproducts.com/photo-emulsion
from where do i get this setup in india?
everything about this is great, except the most important thing: I can't buy this from the link in the description. All it shows are 3 locations in the United states where to buy it. You should be making money selling this online.

Can the emulsion be re used
Once the diazo sensitizer is mixed into the emulsion, it should be used within a few days. If you keep it in the refrigerator, it can last weeks.
Super practical
So it seems you only have 3 months before the emulsion is no longer useful. How many screens can this container do. I just purchased this and before I start mixing I want to make sure I don't waste is as this is more of a hobby for me.
Store in the refrigerator and it should last longer
@@jacquardproducts Should I do the mixing of the emulsion and the diazo in a low light area. it looks like she is mixing it in a bright light?
@@jacquardproducts also I can't find part 2 screen printing?
@@bobbyd1961 away from sunlight for sure
