I'm using the emulsion sheets I have a vacuum exposure unit and when I burn my image the transparency wants to stick to screen and pull emulsion off any suggestions

throw away the sheets and use a direct applied emulsion. Not trying to be a smart A$$ but no commercial shop uses sheets of emulsion that I know of. Use a good quality dual cure emulsion and a scoop coater. Personally I like Ulano LX660 Once activated a gallon will last 9 months with no problem. Good luck

I'm with Jaime.

I've actually mounted protests against capillary film. (Just kidding.)

In it's defense though, it does have it's place and there are some applications that almost require it. It's uniform thicknesses (it comes in varying) allows for consistent times and stencil quality. It gives overall superior edge definition etc. And there are many screen printing (t-shirt) shops that swear by it and use nothing else. Roger Jennings is a strong proponent of capillary. (But what does he know?)

But it tends to give beginners unecessary headaches. And you should ultimately learn to use it properly. In the mean time though I say go diazo.

Sounds like you have too much water on the screen or your screens may not be clean enough.

I use cap film as a back up. You can get some good detail from it and is ready in no time.

use a fan and make sure it's completely dry

The screens are completely dry when I try to expose them and when I take it of the exposure table the image sticks to the film
