What you can\u2019t see is important in screen making\u00a0<\/strong><\/a>Screen room personnel often use sight and touch to determine when a screen is ready to shoot, but quite often it is what we can\u2019t see that affects the final stencil.\u00a0 Moisture can be trapped in the emulsion coating.\u00a0 The emulsion feels dry to the touch on both sides but the emulsion next to the mesh may still hold moisture.\u00a0 This interferes with the exposure light.\u00a0 A moisture meter<\/a> like the one shown to the left can tell the screen room workers when the screen is dry enough to expose.<\/p>\n

My screens won\u2019t reclaim easily, Why?<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0When a emulsion \u2018locks in\u2019 a screen during reclaiming it can be very difficult to remove.\u00a0 The cure is prevention and following good screen making techniques.\u00a0 Under exposure leaves pure photopolymer emulsions sensitive to screen openers, hot screen cleaning chemistries and make reclaiming difficult.<\/p>\n
