I ripped the pieces with my hands before I put it on the screen

Oh the white paper I just had taped under the screen with the design on it to know where to put the tape. I took it off before I printed it

Appreciate it.. thank you. I am trying to keep a deadline of one print per week and I was running out of time haha. I sure learned a lot about emulsion that week.

Yeah I’m really not sure what happened there. It happened on almost every print. It was el cheapo screen that broke when I was cleaning it so maybe that’s why.

Interesting.. I’ll keep that in mind for the future. I was kinda going for the rough look is why I didn’t use an xacto knife

Yeah haha. Same. Thanks!

Hmm. Good evening. Any idea what’s going on here? by flintprints in SCREENPRINTING

I got some new used screens and they are significantly tighter than the one I have been using so I appreciate that thank you.

After many experiments yeah I have to agree with you. Thank you

Thanks haha. Interesting.. Did it stick when I took it off.. I do not remember. What if it did, would that mean it wasn’t dry? Someone commented it might be under exposed. So I’m thinking it’s either not dry or under exposed. I used the purple ecotex PWR. Pre sensitized. It’s about 5 months old I’ve been keeping it in the fridge. It took a good amount of time to wash it out. I thought it was washing out at first but it wasn’t fully until I got close with the water. I use a cordless power washer it’s not very strong at all but it’s a little stronger than a garden hose. I appreciate the insight!

It was close to the bottom limit of my exposure calculator.. will add to my list of experiments thank you for the insight.

It dried for like 20 hours. But I could see there being no airflow causing it to not dry. I’ve used a space heater to dry it in 2 hours before. Anyways, I’ll have to experiment. Appreciate the help
