Screen Printing Emulsion FAQ

How do I choose between Photopolymer and Dual-Cure emulsion?

Use a Photopolymer Emulsion like SBQ-500 for the fastest exposure times and pure plastisol printing. Choose a Dual-Cure Emulsion like Ulano RLX if you need more exposure latitude or if you are printing with aggressive water-based or solvent inks.

What is the best emulsion for water-based and discharge ink?

We recommend a highly water-resistant formula such as Ulano 925 WR or Dual Cure 310 HR Green. These stencils are designed to withstand the moisture in water-based inks without breaking down during long production runs.

When should I use Capillary Film instead of liquid emulsion?

Capillary Film, such as Ulano EZ-FILM, is ideal for printers who need absolute stencil thickness consistency and a mess-free coating process. It is especially useful for high-density printing where a thick, controlled EOM (Emulsion Over Mesh) is required.
