Hi guys,

I have a problem. My exposure unit had the wrong lights fitted and what I need to know is what type of UV light is needed to expose screens. I have black light but its filtered (i think, well doesnt matter cos it doesnt work anyway), and my local light suppliers arent best qualified in knowing exactly want I need. So, exactly what type of light do I need?

Further compounding the problem, I need the light a certain length, so if this fails I suppose I am going to have to buy one. Where is recommended to purchase and cost; I am based in the UK?

I saw this on ebay

Screen Printing Exposure unit on eBay, also, Screen Speciality Printing, Printing Graphic Arts, Business, Office Industrial (end time 22-Jan-08 21:47:30 GMT)

Is this recommended? I would prefer something similar to one I already have, namely a slightly smaller than A2 size. Like this http://www.ryonet.net/downloads/expose-unit.jpg

Cheers all
Stag

try talking to the guy who custom made it for u. if u cant for some reason, i suggest getting 500 watt halogens. no filters, no colors. then obviously do an exposure test, but prob. around 9 minutes will do the trick
