Weird Emulsion problem
Posted: Mon Jan 24, 2011 1:30 pm
Hi, Ive had a few problems with my home setup but most have been fixed using these forums, however this one i cant seem to see any answer or similar problem.
Basically ive been printing for a few months and had varying results but something which has now happened twice is the problem in the picture...basically once i have gone to strip the screen i have had parts of the emulsion which just WONT come out. The strange thing is the parts which wont wash out are in the shape of drips (see Picture) and have become completely permanent... I just cant understand why this is happening.
I am using Photo cure emulsion- Diazo blue type. And cleaning chemicals from http://www.wickedprintingstuff.com. When i coat the screen i am positive the screen is dry. Also before exposing i make sure the emulsion is dry.
Most of the times the setup i am using works absolutely fine but on these 2 occasions this problem has arisen...
Is something reacting with the emulsion?
