GUIDELINE:
Before applying the emulsion to the screen, make sure that the screen is cleaned with a degreaser and dried thoroughly. Let the emulsion dry and then wash with a soft mist of water to create the image
EXPOSURE:
Distance for the exposure should be about one and a half times the diagonal measurement of the artwork from point light sources. Yellow and orange mesh require at least 50% more time than white mesh. The times given below are based on the white mesh at approximately 40 inches. METAL HALIDE 25 SECONDS 3000 WATTS CARBON ARC 20 SECONDS 60 AMPS FLUORESCENT TUBES 35-60 SECONDS 40 WATTS
