Ecotex® Beginner Screen Printing Emulsion (8 oz.) - Pre-Sensitized Ready to Use Photo Emulsion for Silk Screens and Fabric - for Plastisol Ink and Water Based Ink, Screen Printing Supplies

Once I got the timing down, this emulsion works really well. I’m used to using halogen light boxes and burning for a couple of minutes. I just built a 60 watt UV LED box at home and this emulsion burns almost faster than you can blink! I zoned it in at 6 seconds, which blows my mind.A lot of the reviewers here are having a hard time washing out their screens, and that’s because of overexposure. When the timing is done right, you will easily see the outline of your image before washing. I could wash the image out using just the water sprayer at my kitchen sink. No need to fire up the power washer here.Some other tips: Keep your coated screens in a very dark place while drying and before burning. Don’t even smile at it, because a sunny personality will expose this emulsion!I’m fitting foam covered with black felt on the back of the screen while burning. Make sure whatever you’re holding up to the back of the screen is dark so you don’t get reflection causing overexposure. Also, give your screen some distance from the light source.I hope this helps other people! It sure would be helpful for a so-called beginner emulsion to have some additional troubleshooting tips for users.

I've been trying to use it like 6 TIMES, i thought it was me doing the wrong process, but the product its just bad as their discounts.do not ever buy this product, even if its only 5 bucks, save your money and TIME.

I'm 90% sure this is their Ecotex PWR purple emulsion rebranded to be "for beginners." I would HIGHLY recommend searching up the spec sheet for it online. Bought it as a last ditch effort for a school project. First coated my screen with a scoop coater, let it air dry for maybe about 30 minutes and used a space heater to speed it up (this was in a rush so its better if you let it totally air dry horizontally overnight), placed my design and burned with a Speedball 30W UV for about 30 seconds (burn times vary) and washed it out afterwards. It was my first time ever doing this with extensive research prior and it came out perfectly. If you're having issues with peeling it might be because you put it on too thick, didn't dry it enough, or underexposed.

He tratado unas 8 veces desde 2 minutos hasta 8 minutos y la imagen deseada muy apenas y se ve a la hora de echarle agua con la manguera. Seguiré intentando y les califico.

Its nice that it doesnt require an activator to be mixed in. I like the short 12 second exposure times required. I needed to expose a little longer than instructed, but only by a second or two. This emulsion doesn't change color slightly like others I have used, so I couldn't see the exposure until I began to rinse out the screen.

I have seen many bad reviews and was tempted to write a bad review as well because I was having similar issues. However, I had noticed the exposure time was significantly shorter (just like advertised) than another emulsion I'm used to. It states that the emulsion exposure time is "12 seconds with LED Light", while I was used to over 8 minutes of exposure with the same UV LED light. It also depends on the distance of the LED light and the Watts, but this emulsion definitely has a drastically shortened exposure time which is a plus.

I've tried 6 times and I get the image to burn into my screens but I think I'm overcoating my screens, burning them too long or short or the hose I'm using isn't pressurized enough. The image burns through where I can see it clearly under the uv lamp but when I go to wash the screen the image won't wash through. I ordered more emulsion to keep trying since this stuff does work.
