  • BEST EMULSION TO USE

    Posted by Martin Williams on 20 May 2009 at 17:17

    Could anybody tell me which emulsion they think would be best for me to use. I am machine screen printing with a water based glue onto board using a 43 mesh. Also where to get it from and how many coats to give the screen for best results.
    thanks

    Due to all emulsions being different I’d give either Sericol or Colenso a ring. There are others suppliers but these are the two companies I’ve had emulsion off. Have a chat with them and they’ll put you in the right direction – don’t forget to ask for a spec or instruction sheet and follow it to the letter.

    Cheers John
