Default Buting emulsion, whats the best.

So the Unbranded emulsion I got with my press has run out and I want to buy more.

What is the best brand to buy and where is the cheapest (preferably an EU supplier) place to order from.

Many Thanks.

answer from the other side of the pond....

Ask the original supplier what they sold you.

Me thinks that google and other search engines work there too. Look it up for yourself...

Ulano emulsion is great. Give folks some info to assist your questions...

What kind of light are you using to expose the emulsion? ETC....

Default Re: Buting emulsion, whats the best.

Yeah been looking online but just unsure with what to go with.

I'm using a 500 watt halogen light source.

Exact same as this.



To be honest I bought the press before Xmas but a lot of things cam up and I haven't had a chance to use it properly yet. I'm taking the week off next week and I'd like to get something going while I'm off. My main problem when I tried last time was with the exposure, I just couldn't get it right no matter what advice I followed on here. I'm assuming tat what ever emulsion I mixed up back then is probably out of date now, so I want to try it again with a new emulsion. I want to go with what ever is the best/easiest to use.

Thanks for your help btw.
