Emulsion Guides

  • How to Choose the Right Emulsion?

    The process of selecting an emulsion requires the consideration of several aspects, such as the method of printing (whether it’s manual or automatic), the duration of the job (whether it’s short or long), the type of ink (either plastisol or water-based/discharge), and the source of light (fluorescent tubes, LED, or metal-halide). Emulsions are offered in a variety of colors like blue, green, red, and clear. The color selection is usually a matter of personal preference. Screen printers often choose an emulsion color based on how easy it is to use when registering jobs on-press.

  • Capillary Film

    Known as Direct Film or Emulsion Sheets has a precise thickness that offers good resolution and definition. Capillary Film is durable for long print runs. A great option for anyone not wanting to coat a screen with liquid emulsion.

  • Photopolymer Emulsion

    Pre-sensitized emulsion that exposes fast with a smaller exposure latitude. Can create thick E.O.M. (emulsion over mesh) for thick stencils. Use this type of liquid emulsion of you have an LED exposure unit.

  • Dual-Cure Emulsion

    Uses a sensitizers to give better stencil strength and imaging. A great option for beginners and those just starting. It has high solid contents, wide exposure latitude and high resolution. Good for screen printers with LED and fluorescent tube exposure units.

  • Water Resistant Emulsion

    For screen printers using water-based screen printing ink or discharge ink, a water-resistant emulsion is necessary. Some of our Photopolymer Emulsions are also water resistant if you want one emulsion for plastisol and water-based screen printing inks.

  • Diazo Emulsion

    A good emulsion choice for most screen printing applications. Can be used with solvent based inks
