I tried one out the other day, so far so good. i really like it. I was surprised how good it works considering how low the price was.

coating is fun compared to cleaning them !

I use a Capillary film from ryonet,, it is the red one and it is a breeze.
So far I have not had to use block out or anything else for weak areas,
I am impressed,, I use water based ink,,,,,
I give it a thumbs up,
RyoCap Capillary Film 16" X 300" Roll-30 Microns

Quick question ....

I just got some of this Ryocap, but I'm not clear on which side do I have to apply it on, that's if only one side is needed or both.
Any advice would be great , thanks!

Trust me, cap film is much better than liquid emulsion! It's faster, easier, cleaner and gives you a perfectly consistant stencil thickness on every screen.

Rather than the Ryonet stuff, find some Ulano EasyFilm. The quality is just as good as any Ryonet stuff and it is about half the price. I buy the 17x24 size and cutcthem in half, giving me 17x12 on each screen. At this size it costs me about 60 cents per screen!!

Thanks for the tip !
And I thought Ulano was more expensive, but I like the roll instead of sheets better.

The antidote to reclaiming screens is to be found in the beer aisle of your grocery store . . .

I too love the cap film from ryonet in the roll,
However i have not use the ulano.

The cap film when you take the clear off, this is the side that goes on the transparency to burn,,

have fun,
reclaiming my screens are a snap with ryonets envirostrip,
I use water based ink,,

I dont think i answered this for you,

1. wet your screen with a spray bottle slightly

2. apply the side that does not have the plastic liner

3.squeegge it to the screen if you see any light marks you do not have enough water on it, to make the seal

4. but dont use to much water or it will run

5. dry your screen ,, when done you are ready to burn

apply it to your shirt side of screen. You shouldn't need to apply it to both sides. THe stencil is only important on the shirt side because that is the side that creates the ink well.

wwpro · May 19th, 2010

Thanks you guys. I was watching the app method on youtube but wanted to make sure I was going to put it on the right side of the screen.
If you need a thicker stencil you can stack up the sheets of film, right ?

wwpro · July 13th, 2010

OK I sent my old exposure unit overseas with a friend, now I'm gonna be using a 500W work light and wanted to see if anyone using ryocap is using the same light source and would like to share distance and exposure time.

thanks again
