 Re: Need Help! Setting up a screen / emulsion
You have a few problems. There are many things missing from your post as to your mesh count, your tension, the type of ink that you are using and well... a ton of other information that would make it much easier to find a solution, but...
Your film positive may not have been set by the printer. Oftentimes ink from some printers, like an ink jet, will not properly set when printed to transparencies. They also may not be waterproof and if not, may not work well when placed against the emulsion which has moisture in it (no matter how dry it feels).
The emulsion may not have been coated correctly, was probably not fully hardened (polymerized) in this instance, and then not allowed to dry fully before printing.
These are only guesses based on what you have stated, but seem to be accurate. Give us more information. |
