SWR Emulsion Ok so Ive been screen printing for a few months now......stated out with plastisol and got pretty comfortable relatively quick......when I burn a screen with dxp for plastisol inks , I burn for 30 minutes using a 500 watt halogen and get a solid 7 with a step wedge....so I purchased some swr water base emulsion
here i go with the swr water base emulsion ...I am attempting to print a 4 color process job for myself..just some t-shirts with an ad on the back and the company name on the front.I coat the screens and let them dry overnight...burn the 1st screen for 30 minutes ...I forget to put the step wedge on..as I am washing out the 1st screen the 2nd screen is burning....but the first screen wont washout.....I start scratching my head......why wont this washout.......over exposed.......
I run to my stop watch and look ..14 minutes have gone by...so I turn the 500 watt halogen off and washout the 2nd screen ( I put the step wedge on this time) this screen washes out perfect.......
heres my question.
why does it take me 30 minutes with dxp emulsion and 14 minutes with swr emulsion?
I coat them both the same 1/1
