Default Emulsion Haze

I exposed my screen and it doesnt look bad but, in the areas where there shouldnt be emulsion I have some haze like its not all gone. Anyway I can get rid of that? I pobably should add I used a hose and sprayer with good pressure and not a pressure wahser. Could that be the problem? If so, if I get a pressure washer can I respray this screen and try to remove it? Please help..

Hey It sounds like you are under exposed! try for longer shot next time as for what you have now you can use danp cloth and hair dryer to get backwash out . wipe damp cloth over small area of backwash then hit it with dryer . you can work around till all gone then expose again just in case.Good luck JP justpunk

I second the under-exposure. Trying his method with the damp cloth may work, depending on how long you let this screen sit (in the light) after you realized it wasn't coming out.

Good luck!

Wait, you have emulsion that is left in the image area that wouldn't wash out? Wouldn't that be OVER-exposed? Under-exposure would have let emulsion wash out where it shouldn't have.

Over exposure just causes a loss of edge definition. This is under exposure.
