We recommend mixing up the entire bottle of emulsion. Once mixed, you should store it in a cool, dark place. If you store the emulsion in the refrigerator, it will stay good for several months at least. The hotter it gets (and if it is exposed to too much light), the faster it will expire.... I hope this helps!
The sensitized emulsion is good in the bottle for at least a month. Keep it refrigerated or in a cool, dark place, and it can last much longer than that.
Unless you plan to use the whole amount of emulsion within a 3 month period, divide the 8Oz of the photo emulsion in 4 different containers as well as the water-dissolved sensitizer so when you finish one container, you still have 3 more to use not worrying about expiration times. This way you always have fresh new emulsion even 2 years after you purchase it.
Lyellong, it is not recommended. The sensitizer works as a catalyst for the emulsion, allowing it to react to light much faster. It is possible to burn a screen without the catalyst, but your exposure time would be MUCH, MUCH LONGER. Using the sensitizer allows for more practical screen burning times...
This was helpful, but leads to some questions... Why duck tape and not painters tape? Why do the front and back of the screen, when the ink only interacts with the front? Why not use a scoop coater?
My sensitizers like a brick rock I’ve been mixing it for the last 20 minutes and it has barely dissolved into the water. I know that because when I shake it, I feel what feels like a rock just jiggling off the sides.
I use a 250 watt halogen work light.(can buy it at lowes or Home Depot) and I expose works up to 24 x 24 for 6mins with no problem. I put the light about 24 inches above the screen to be exposed. I'm using diazo emulsion to coat the screen( this is emulsion that needs to be mixed)
great job it is a learning curve you have to do it a few times to get it right i use a bright work light 12 inches away five minutes to expose but it takes practice i like your method thanks
did everything as instructed mixed, coated screens, burned image to emulsion everything came out nice on 160 mesh, I did test print test print looked good started printing T-shirts and emulsion started dissolving in fine lines then after fourth t-shirt bigger lines start sawtoothing around edges used 5 screens to do 15 t-shirts This emulsion does not hold up with using speedball ink. Sorry But i have to call it like i see it.
If you keep it refrigerated, it will keep a very long time (several months at least). The warmer it gets, or if it is exposed to too much light, the faster it will expire...
Hi, just a question as I am trying to learn to do this.. if I put the emulsion in the fridge and go to use it again, do I need to let it come back to room temperature first? Do I need to stir or shake the emulsion again. Thanks for any information.
@ashDgreat007 Drying time very much depends on ambient temperature and humidity, however, unless it is very cold and damp in your drying area it should take between 30 and 90 minutes. I've found placing a fan in the dark room where I dry the screens speeds the drying time.
can you reccomend any techniques cause most of what i'm finding are techniques that take days and ones that are just tough to do at home.. Cyanotypes seemed quite quick to me
I am having some difficulty with applying the emulsion to the screen. In the video it smooths out nicely, when I try it seems to soak in and not really spread, no matter how much I work at it. The first screen I tried making had a lot of runs after it dried. I'm wondering if my mesh is too wide (110) or my screen isn't tight enough (hand made). I'm using a speedball fabric squeegee to spread the emulsion.
+Anthony Ball sounds like you might just be applying too much emulsion. The idea is to use as little as possible and to spread it as far as it will go on the screen. Excess emulsion should be returned to the jar. Use the squeegee to work a small amount of emulsion, spreading it as much as you can before using more. If the mesh isn't taught enough, you may have trouble. The screen in this video is also a 110 mesh.
+jacquardproducts My second screen went better, but I had to scrape and scrape and scrape to spread it around thin enough. Every video I've watched shows people effortlessly spreading the emulsion but mine seems to be very stubborn. Maybe I didn't use enough water in the sensitizer (though that seems like an awful small amount to make a difference)
After the emulsion and sensitizer are mixed up (and left to mix for one hour) how long is the jar good for? I have three different designs I want to do and only one screen. Do I have days to work with this or only hours?
So it seems you only have 3 months before the emulsion is no longer useful. How many screens can this container do. I just purchased this and before I start mixing I want to make sure I don't waste is as this is more of a hobby for me.
everything about this is great, except the most important thing: I can't buy this from the link in the description. All it shows are 3 locations in the United states where to buy it. You should be making money selling this online.

Sounds like the emulsion wasn't fully dry before exposing. We recommend waiting 24 hours after coating the screen before burning. Could be your exposure time was too short, too.
Exposing in the sun is tricky because exposure times will vary depending on the location, time of day, time of year, etc. Probably extending the exposure time to closer to 60 seconds would do the trick. If you continue having trouble, please call us at 800-442-0455

While I appreciate the effort you made in producing this video, this is not a recommended way to coat a screen. For just a couple of dollars, you can get yourself a scoop coater. Pouring emulsion directly onto a screen is not a good idea. You'll save yourself a ton of headaches by making a small investment. Trust me.

Good question! Just stir well and you're good to go. The act of laying it on the screen will bring the temperature up.
Hope this helps!

About an hour, depending on conditions. Use a fan or blow dryer to speed things along.
Thank you very much! For several months or at least 30 days is a great expiration time frame! I hope to keep uploading great video tutorials. Cheers.
This was helpful, but leads to some questions...
Why duck tape and not painters tape? Why do the front and back of the screen, when the ink only interacts with the front? Why not use a scoop coater?
After the print is finished, do you have to iron it? Or does that depend on what type of ink you have?
My sensitizers like a brick rock I’ve been mixing it for the last 20 minutes and it has barely dissolved into the water. I know that because when I shake it, I feel what feels like a rock just jiggling off the sides.

is it possible to use the photo emulsion on the screen without mixing it up with a sensitizer?
Our Jacquard Screen Inks can be heat set or you can add a fixer to the ink before printing.
im a lil confused does the design go on the interior or exterior of the screen

Hi There,
How Much Emulsion Will Be Required For A3/A4 Size Screen In Mili Liters ?
What type of transparency did you use, what type of printer did you use?
We offer the highest quality film: www.jacquardproducts.com/solarfast-film.html
It can be used in any inkjet printer.
Once mixed both solutions, how long will it last before getting damaged? :)
several months if refrigerated, otherwise about 1 week
Lady without a face, Very helpful video!! :) After all of that, would have loved to see you follow through and do a quick print on a shirt.. :(
How much longer? I did cyanotypes once and that was 11 minutes.. 30 seconds seems fast.. Would it be like 2 hours or something?

Anthony Ball are you using a Jacquard screen, Speedball screen or another brand?
+jacquardproducts it is homemade and hand stretched. I had wondered if tension may have something to do with it, it's pretty tight, though
an emulsion coater makes it very easy! i would suggest one because it takes one swipe
has anyone used this to expose halftone images if so what mesh count and how long did you expose it for?
What happens if my emulsion looks to dark. Also what happens if i leave the the photo to burn for to long?
If you over expose the screen, you may lose detail, as some areas of the stencil will not wash out.
How to copy my pic. Or whatever I want on that transparent plastic sheet?
What amount of darkness is it needed, when applying the photocoat
Indoors away from sunlight should be fine
After the emulsion and sensitizer are mixed up (and left to mix for one hour) how long is the jar good for? I have three different designs I want to do and only one screen. Do I have days to work with this or only hours?

Store in the refrigerator and it should last longer

@@jacquardproducts also I can't find part 2 screen printing?

did you put a photo hardener on the emulsion????
can anybody tell me how long does it take to dry the screen with the photo emulsion on it?.
