Default Re: Emulsion problem...

Have you tried spraying your positives with "Acrylic Fixative"? You can get spray fix at any art store. It remelts the toner and makes it 30% darker. Some fixatives have UV block in them so you don't want those.

I just print out vellum on a large format laser printer, spray on the fix let it dry and shoot. I do a lot of halftone work and consistantly get 5% dots and higher at 65 lpi. My light source is a 5000 watt metal halide UV gas bulb and I use a poly-cop. As with anything the right tools makes all the difference.
