FLX SCREEN is a popular all-round photoemulsion that belongs in every screen printing workshop.

This emulsion is the perfect solution for you if:

You print with plastisol or water-soluble inks
You expect a one-component emulsion of the highest quality
You want to print fine, halftone, but also flat motifs
Sometimes you only use small quantities and therefore need a product that can be stored for 2 years
You need high resolution and good edge sharpness

Use

Apply the emulsion to the sieve using a coating trough . The photoemulsion is always applied first to the print side and then to the squeegee side of the screen printing frame. It is true: the thicker the applied copy layer, the higher the color deposit will be later on the printing material. Prints on light fabrics or paper require only a thin application of emulsion. Preferably 1x on each side of the sieve. However, when printing with opaque white on dark fabrics, the print side should be coated twice and the erasable side 1 or 2 coats.

The coated frame is then allowed to dry for a few hours or it is possible to use a suitable dryer. The frame prepared in this way is then exposed for 4-5 minutes with a 400W halogen bulb. The illuminated emulsion becomes hard and therefore the non-illuminated parts of the sieve can be washed with water, creating a template for printing textiles and other printed materials.

ATTENTION! It is always necessary to work in a dark room with red or yellow light, otherwise the emulsion will be unintended illumination.
