A couple of years ago, I had an emulsion rep tell me I should be using the sharp side of the coating trough for 195 mesh screens and higher. This is because those are typically the screens we use for gradients and thinner/dark inks. His argument was you don't necessarily want to lay down as much of an ink deposit for a gradient, or even a dark ink (like black) as you would say, with white ink on a 110 or 156 mesh that was coated with the smooth side of the though. We use a dual cure emulsion. Did that rep send me down the wrong path? We fortunately haven't had any issues using the smooth side for 156 and lower mesh screens and the sharp side for 195 and higher mesh screens.
I am working at the screen department and I am responsible for making screens. I am trying to master applying capillary films to the screen. Our capillary films are different and what is that tool you are using to apply on the screen? I need that lol
Do you mean the scoop coater? Or which tool are you referring to? We also have some videos dedicated to applying capillary film, so check out those as well!
Absolutely wonderful sir. This is the kind of honest detail I am looking for in a video. Thank you for time and efforts.
thanks for watching! we appreciate the kind words
Great Class Sir!
