Default Re: Need Help! Setting up a screen / emulsion

Quote:
Would it be safe to place an additional transparency (blank film) between your film positive and the screen, or do you think this would just cause other problems?
I would not advise this practice. This can cause registration issues on press. You want the image as close to the emulsion/mesh as possible when burning. If there is space between the image and screen your burn will differ slightly from the actual art on the film. Undercutting during the burn process.

Screen rooms actually used this process back in the old days for choking/trapping when using stat cameras and dark rooms to create plates.
