OK so im reclaiming a screen, which had a very complex design on it, with lots of little small print letters. The emulsion cleared out, very easily eerywhere, EXCEPT, right on the edges of these letters. Basically right where the emulsion stops and the ink starts. Is there something im missing? This is THE first time ive reclaimed this screen, too. so i Did not leave any Reclaim on it. at all. Doe sit have something to do with the ink? Im totally confused, and anxious to go get some caustic paste!

Are you sure its emulsion?
It may well be ink staining or dry inks.
Try a bit of bleach on the mesh it should clean it.

It is in fact emulsion, becasue i used black ink, and it was pink {the same as my emulsion} I gave up. I said, **** it and put on some ghost image remover. Bingo. It cleared it right out. I ve noticed that even tough emulsion{near the edges usually, where i dont worry abou t it much} comes off with this ghost remover. Good stuff! {doesnt work very well for Waterbased ink ghosts though,.....}

Yeah all ghost/haze removers are very good.
You may have to use twice to get rid off waterbased stains
