Good day guyz,

This is my first time to try silkscreen printing using emulsion. Here's the problem: I put the emulsion on the screen [using J&J Virgo emulsion] and place a tracing paper [w/ mantika, nabsa ko lang sa thread ^^] and try to exposed it on my diy 500 watts halogen bulb [10" on 7mins>10mins>15mins] but i cant wash out the image on my screen [btw im using household hose with a good pressure on it]. My 1st try was on 7 mins, the image showed but the whole screen was almost washed out; 2nd on 10mins, almost same with my first try although its much harder now; last try on 15mins, the whole image is very clear & when i started to wash it off the image gets clearer but still it wont washed out.

Eto na, anu po ba ang mali sa aking ginawa..?

i already tried other set up kya lang hindi successful..

sana po matulungan nyo ako.. salamat..

nagmamahal,
jaxx

Ganito ba sayo?

LIGHT-->glass-->>tracing paper-->>screen-->>foam. A 1/4 thick glass is good enough as a counter-weight against the bottom foam to have a zero gap (good contact) between your tracing paper against the screen.

Baka sa transparency mo..yan din ang experience ko..

I put the emulsion on the screen [using J&J Virgo emulsion] and place a tracing paper [w/ mantika, nabsa ko lang sa thread ^^] and try to exposed it on my diy 500 watts halogen bulb [10" on 7mins>10mins>15mins] but i cant wash out the image on my screen [btw im using household hose with a good pressure on it].

pinatuyo mo ba ang screen mo after ma coat ng emulsion? pwde rin under expose and over exposed screen mo..kailangan maitim na maitim ang image mo..

ito gamit ko ngayon TULCO Aquasol ER .tracing paper, 500 watts halogen, 18 inches height bulb to glass 8-10 minutes exposure..successful din ako sa 5 minutes exposure..handspray lang pwede na pang washout..

500w halogen 10" distance 7 minutes?

Kung 10" distance try mo start sa 3 minutes. Kung itataas mo sa 18" start sa 5 minutes. Iyan ang usual exposure time ko sa halogen at 18". So unless dark na dark yung ink mo malamang overexposure ka.

Binababad mo ba yung imgae area bago ihose?
