Hi again,
Ah todays problem i have encountered is my emulsion setting practise. I burn in the image with a 500watt halogen light at night for 10 minutes bout 20cm away from screen. The screens dry over night and for about 24hrs in a dark box before being set.
Now when i 'burn' in the image and go to wash up, the image wont completely come through with out a bit of rubbing, brushing or pressure spraying which takes bits of set emulsion out of the screen.
I don't think i'm exposing too long- think!
Also when i set me image its printing onto translucent paper similar to tracing paper, mainly due not being able to work out how to get a positive image onto clear film with only basic means. Could this be the problem?
I am using an emulsion where the sensitizer has been mixed in quite a while ago, and has probably gone bad. Think this could be my problem?
cheers
- super
