Ulano EZ Film?

1908 Views 5 Replies 5 Participants Last post by  aplusbowling
Has anyone ever used Ulano EZ Film emulsion? If so - what do you think? We are a pretty low volume shop, and I think it would be incredibly time saving and convenient for us based on all the videos I have seen online. But I'd love to hear actual testimonials from someone who's used it and know if there are any considerations I haven't thought of.

I got a 5 pack of this at a trade show. Pretty awesome stuff. The only thing to watch out for is that it burns faster than my Ulano RLX. RLX burned clean at 2:20 and the EZ FILM is 0:40. The Image quality Is great and its a thick stencil and seems to grip around the mesh nicer than you would expect.
I'm using the EZ FILM 30 MICRON right now. It's being very difficult at the moment. While washing out, chunks will wash out at a time, and I'm getting a terrible image. I'm guessing it's a problem with my exposure time, but the times that they include aren't very accurate.

At the moment, the concept seems very practical, but the product hasn't been too reliable for me thus far.
I'm also a small shop, and made the switch to EZ Film about 1 1/2 years ago. It's been great so far. I've got the original film and the EZ-30 micron. I only use the 30 micron for my 230 and 305 screens. The only drawback that I've encountered is removing the tape from the screen after I'm finished with a job. If I tape the shirt side of the screen, the tape will pull the emulsion off sometimes. For me, this isn't that big of a deal. I usually reclaim after I'm finished anyway. I don't try to save the stencil for future use.

How is the edge detail on both kinds? Do you do any halftone work with the EZ-30?
I haven't done any halftone work yet. The edge detail seems fine so far. I want to see how well both films work by doubling them up. I'm thinking I could get a thicker stencil this way. Need to do some testing....
