- An exposure calculator can really help you dial in your times regardless of your exposure light and emulsion type, they are low cost www.screenprinting.com/product... for only $11! Our Exposure Guide is the easiest way to ensure durable stencils, every time. In a single exposure, this 10-step guide tells you how to adjust your exposure time for complete stencil curing. Measuring only 1/2" x 3 3/4", it will fit on your production screen without interfering with other graphics.
This told me near nothing on how to use this product..
Put the calculator on your screen when you expose. Is that the part you were missing?
Dont act smart. The video says underexposed means hard to wash and over exposed means easy to wash. What the F? @@Ryonet
Very useful! :)
Did he miss speak when he said over exposed Will wash out to many?
Think he misspoke, I’ve watched a ton of other videos on this and everyone else has said if too many wash out it’s under exposed and if not enough wash out it’s over exposed. Think about it logically, when exposing a screen your hardening the emulsion, thus the longer the time the harder it gets and the the harder it will be to wash out. The shorted the time the less hard it will get and it will be easier to wash out.
Hey there, I'm looking to purchase an exposure calculator but the only one I can find on your website is $30 not $11. Can anyone point me in the right direction for the exact one used in this video? Thanks!
So if I expose for a minute and get 9 step. Would I multiply the suggested .××× by 1 or by 60 for seconds ?
60 sec
so this strip can be used multiple times in the same way as an acetate can be reused right?
Leon Webb used and used and used again :) as long as you don't loose it you can use it.
Soo what if all of the numbers show
Up ??
Underexposed!
15 min exposed with wbp set me at a 3... to be at a 7 it says to X it by 4.0= 1 hour.... what the?????????
This will highly depend on your exposure unit, EOM, dryness of emulsion, etc.
Running this test and our other step wedge test will allow you to dial in your exposure time for these variables.
I thought the same thing, but then realized the "multiply by x" is a suggested guide. Luckily, the WBP emulsion has a wide latitude of adjustment. Try in 1-2 minute incremental segments to get the proper numbers remaining (remember you wanna see 7 solid blocks remain). If you need to, and are able to, switch your light source/setup to get better lighting.
Andrew Meyer yeah I switched everything and now I’m on the money 👌🏽
@@Factory928AC What did you end up switching?
Tyler Harney emulsions . I went to ulano orange and exposing at 3 minutes with Riley’s beginner exposure unit. Gave up on that and bought Ranar 20x24 exposure unit and now I’m at 1:48 exposure time with ulano orange 110-160 mesh. 1:30 for 180-230 mesh.
