Ecotex® AP Blue Screen Printing Emulsion (Quart - 32oz.) Pre-Sensitized Photo Emulsion for Silk Screens, Textiles, and Fabric - Plastisol Ink Supplies

Good product. I’m a professional printer and it works very well on my screens and exposes the images well. I was looking for a replacement of my usual product which is now £80 per tub. I’ve found this is produced extremely cost effective compared to other product on the market and works just as well, plus it’s ready mixed. .

Great

This emulsion works great for us. The purple is great as well.

I cannot stress this enough - if you are new to screen printing, this emulsion will make you want to quit. It is next to impossible to determine exposure times, even with exposure charts. Eventually I switched to BaseLayr and my screens perfectly washed out with an exposure time of 3.5 seconds on the first hit. This emulsion is garbage.

Whale, I really did not expect it to work. I coated four new 16x20 TECHTONGDA Aluminum Silk Screen, Screens with the Ecotex AP Blue Emulsion, and they turned-out like you'd expect some 61 year-old half-wit, to-do. My new 16" Emulsion Scoop Coater Tool was really about 16-1/2", so I used a loose-bladed hacksaw to cut two horribly weh-wah cutted scooper tray trough buddy-buddies.. Pooshing the plastic end-capp back-on, in a rickity reckshaw weeble-wobble fashion -so the Emulsion Goop could run-out the sides and drip onto the floor.. uh. (shakes ee's head).. I coated four new TECHTONGDA Aluminum Silk Screen Printing Press Screens with the Blue AP Goop, coating both sides as best I could with the new Fancy Scooper (waste of money? probably could uh used a piece of wood to do the same spread job, blah blah).. I let the screens dry in my bedroom closet, for two-days.. reluctantly awaiting the day I would attempt the "light" trick.. I finally taped my Transparent Logo onto the AP Coated "Test" Screen, haphazardly tearing away my transparency letters TM (for trademark) and using a 99Cent Store IMO "Sharpie" to fake-in the TM Letters.. (uh..). I had NO IDEA how "long" to expose the screens to the light, and no idea "which light" to use...? I "heard" someone in one of the YT videos say they exposed their screens to only 30-seconds IN THE SUNLIGHT, which sounded way easier than using a 20 minute flood light of 500watt, special lighting, blah blah.. I said, here, goes.. and I walked into the sunlight by the pool, and counted to 30. one one-thousand, two one-shousand, three... Then I "hid" the Screen under my bed covers, and went for a three hour walk... ..Wanting to nap, but instead dredging the screen into the garage -dreading the projected failure of washing out the nappy Blue.. running the water.. hey wait.. it looks like my logo is appearing (water washing over the screen..) Grabbing the Big Handy Brush by the garage sink.. I scrubbed and scrubbed, and low & behold the Emulsion started peeling off in Globby Clumps (like Elmers Glue might do..).. I'll be DANGED! IT LOOKS PRETTY GOOD! Hmmmm. I wonder how that happened..? NOT BAD, I'm Shocked! next, I'll need to cut a piece of wood to become the surface for screen printing t-shirts. Oops, I made the Screen Backwards because I "remembered" to reverse the logo, so, this screen will need to be treated [special] because I reversed the wrong side, meaning the inner screen will not have the buddy-buddy luxury of a border facing me, instead the borders will be facing down on-top of the t-shirts.. ugh not bad for an old-f... don da-da don! Thanks Ecotex AP Blue, for Surprising Me with something that works!!!

Dial-in your own exposure time based on your set-up. For comparison, I usually use speedball emulsion + 40W LED Photo/Video Light + 15 inch from the screen at 5 minutes. For this product, I found out that with the same set-up, the exposure time is at 30 minutes! That is my second try. On my first try at 5 minutes (based on my known result from speedball): the emulsion just washed away - with sink faucet water! I think the sweet spot for my set-up is at 32 mins for intricate designs. It is only fair that I have to give this product a five star.
