Video Overview: Coat Screens Quickly and Consistently with Ulano EZ-Film
Whether you are a seasoned screen printer or just starting your first shop, achieving a perfectly even emulsion coat is often the most frustrating part of the pre-press process. Ulano EZ-Film changes the game by eliminating the mess and inconsistency of liquid emulsions.
In this guide and video overview, George Legh-Page from the Ulano Corporation joins us at the Lawson Workhorse Group headquarters to demonstrate how this capillary film provides a fast, foolproof alternative for your screens.
Why Choose Ulano EZ-Film?
Traditional coating requires a steady hand and a scoop coater, often leading to uneven thickness or annoying pinholes. Ulano EZ-Film offers several professional advantages:
-
Consistency: Every sheet is pre-coated at a precise thickness (available in 30 or 50 microns), ensuring your exposure times remain identical every single time.
-
Speed: Apply the film using only water and a squeegee—no more mixing diazo or waiting hours for thick liquid coats to dry.
-
Cleanliness: Eliminate the "drip and scrub" routine. Because it's a dry film on a carrier sheet, your darkroom stays cleaner and your reclaim process becomes more efficient.
-
Versatility: The 50-micron film is ideal for mesh counts ranging from 86 to 230, making it a "workhorse" solution for most textile and graphic applications.
"Whether we do it or you do it, it is always consistent... it's priced very competitively with direct emulsion."
