I just got a 1500 psi water pressure sprayer at Lowes for $100. It's one of the yellow ones. The same brand that many of the screen printing companies are selling as their economy model for $125 and up. This one may even be more powerful. I think most of the ones I've seen in screen printing catalogs were actually less than 1500 in that price range.
I've been reclaiming and reburning my screens to try different things and I was getting slivers of leftover emulsion that required massive scrubbing and they still didn't come out 100%, then they'd show up faintly in the next print. I got some soy-based "eviro-haze" and that would not even get them off.
This seems to do the trick. I just hosed two screens with a bunch of leftover emulsion bits and slivers at full blast and it worked. Didn't even spray them with anything first.
