The Jacquard Photo Emulsion & Diazo Sensitizer is an 8oz light-sensitive emulsion designed for creating silk screens with photos, lettering, logos, or detailed images. It boasts super durability, high water resistance, and can be easily reclaimed from screens using diluted bleach, making it an ideal choice for both amateur and professional screen printers.

Worked fine. Good value
It worked well for me. Other recent reviews cite that it did not function well. I believe that the published exposure times are not accurate. Instead, you have to first do a trial to determine the optimal exposure time based on your set-up (bulb wattage and distance). This is easy to do with a scrap of screen. I found that my 150w clear bulb with aluminum food pan reflector and 16” light height required about 45 minutes of exposure.The price and amount is a good value for home/craft printers.

Here is how I made mine work well
I went on vacation and brought this along with screens, squeegee painters tape 150W incandescent bulb, bulb holder with reflector, pane of glass, transparencies (2) printed with my image, block of black foam, shirts and ink.My first try was a fail. I followed instructions but when I went to wash it out, it all came off. May have been many reasons, too high of pressure (although I wasn't using any more than required to remove the inner section) not long enough exposure, didn't let the emulsion dry enough, didn't hold my mouth right, who knows...But here is what did...1. Mixed the material as stated on the bottle. Let it set as stated...2. Added blue painters tape to minimize edges not needing emulsion3. Downloaded the "Darklight" app to make my phone a red light to work by.4. Went to a totally dark room5. Tried a emulsion scoop, but found a squeegee worked better, so worked to remove all extra I could from both sides after a uniform application across both sides6. Let that dry in the dark for several hours.7. Placed the screen on a block of dark foam, the two printed transparencies on top of each other and then on the screen, then the glass, then the light at roughly 20" above the screen and turned the light on and ran it the maximum time found on the website.8. I then went the route no one else did that I could find...9. I added about 2" of luke warm water to the bottom of the tub and set the screen in that water while agitating slightly for about three minutes.10. When the images showed distinctive differences in tone, I went to the same sink as before and washed out only the part I needed with no loss of the border.11. Set it in the sun for another hourFrom there, all was well... hope you succeed too and hope this helps.

Rookie but fast learner.
I blindly purchased this and just dove into it without much research. I got it everywhere 😂😂😂… I was under the impressive this has to be kept in the dark. It does not. Can be applied in the average room and I dried my screen immediately with a hand dryer. This is enough to cover several screens; I could cover a dozen or more 8x10 screens with this. Well worth the price. Took two tries before I had it perfect. That’s not a bad deal for a learning curve.

Very good product but it comes poorly packed!
I was delighted to find this product, in this small size: I do a lot of silkscreen but mostly use screen filler. I was buying 32 ounce containers of another emulsion and it would go bad before I could use it up (--it would image the screen just fine, but then couldn't be washed out, causing me to re-stretch screens earlier than usually needed). It images great and washes out very easily. But the second time I ordered it, the jars were put in a box WITHOUT any packing: thankfully they come shrink wrapped or it would have been more of a mess. I wish I could find this locally as packing then wouldn't be an issue....

Easy to use
This was easier to use than I thought it would be. Worked well with just a squeegee so I didn't need to buy the tray. Did two 10 x 14 screens and there is still a lot left.

Came in the mail leaked within packaging
The media could not be loaded. I am about to try to apply to screens but opening the package the emulsion is all over the inside of the packaging. Hoping I didn't lose too much product. I normally try to leave positive reviews but this was disappointing.

Good price, quality product.
Arrived quickly, good price, quality product. Was a little skeptical the first time I received this because the jar and bottle come plastic wrapped together as opposed to in a box or anything, but that has never been an issue.

Una si no, la mejor!!
Por que?? A mi parecer no es la mas resistente a la hora de usar bases agua ,en plastisol hace el trabajo, al rebelar es de verdad rapida y efectiva esta emulcion y al limpiar una malla es muy facil de limpiar !! Por todo eso es la que prefiero!!
