Default which emulsion is best?

hi. I need to buy some more emulsion. I've been using the diazo speedball emulsion, and it's been great.
I found another option: Ulano (I think proclaim would be the one).

Which is best?

I print using water-based inks (permaset) and polyester screens.

thanks for any help/suggestions.

Probably anything is better than Speedball stuff . . . it's generally considered hobby grade.

Just make sure your emulsion is listed as waterproof. I think most dual-cure emulsions offer some water resistance. Ulano makes one called 920WR which is recommended for water based inks, but probably a little slower than the Proclaim.
