Video Overview: Ulano Exposure Test Tutorial
Finding the perfect exposure time for your screen printing emulsion shouldn't feel like a guessing game. To help you achieve professional-grade results and durable stencils, this guide breaks down the Ulano Exposure Test (often called a "step wedge test").
By performing a series of five incremental exposures on a single screen, you can eliminate the trial and error that leads to wasted materials. Whether you are aiming for high-resolution detail or maximum press longevity, mastering this simple calibration technique ensures your shop runs efficiently and your prints stay crisp.
