Ulano Orange Emulsion | High-Performance Screen Printing Solution
Ulano Orange is a premium, ready-to-use SBQ photopolymer screen printing emulsion designed for high-performance applications, including sportswear and athletic printing. This advanced emulsion delivers superior resolution and excellent durability, making it a top choice for professional screen printers.
Formulated with a masking color to reduce light scattering—the primary cause of resolution loss—Ulano Orange allows the use of cost-effective white mesh without sacrificing fine lines and details. Despite its anti-halation color, it is ultra-fast-exposing, ideal for shops with high stencil-making throughput or those using fluorescent tubes or low-intensity light sources. Its high viscosity (6,000–8,000 centipoise) ensures excellent coating control, especially on coarse mesh, while its high solids content (44–46%) provides better mesh bridging, edge definition, and fast drying.
Ulano Orange resists plastisol inks, most wash-up solvents, and some water-based textile inks, and is easy to reclaim. Its stencils are durable, non-tacky in high-humidity conditions, and offer excellent wet strength and exposure latitude. The emulsion reduces stencil-making time through faster coating (due to high viscosity), drying (due to high solids), and exposure (due to high photosensitivity).
Why Choose Ulano Orange Emulsion?
- High-Quality Print Results: Delivers exceptional image quality with sharp details and precise edges. Its high solids content ensures consistent, high-density stencils for textile and graphic screen printing.
- Ultra-Fast Exposure: Enables fast stencil throughput for high-volume shops and ensures thorough exposure, even with weak light sources. Offers dependable polymerization for durability and ink resistance.
- High Solids Content (44–46%): Dries quickly, improves mesh bridging, and reduces Rz value for sharper printed edges.
- High Viscosity (6,000–8,000 centipoise): Enhances control during coating, even on coarse mesh.
- Water and Solvent Resistance: Resists plastisol inks, most wash-up solvents, and some water-based inks, even without added diazo.
- Shelf Life: 1 year unopened when stored at 70°F (21°C).
- Durability and Versatility: Withstands long print runs and harsh chemicals, compatible with water-based, plastisol, and discharge inks.
- User-Friendly: Pre-sensitized and ready to use, with fast exposure times and excellent reclaimability for efficient screen cleaning.

Technical FAQ: Choosing the Right Screen Printing Mesh Count
What mesh count is best for printing glitter and shimmer inks?
Use a low mesh count between 24 and 86 for glitter and shimmer inks. Larger glitter flakes require very open meshes such as 24/25, 38/40, or 60/61 to allow particles to pass through without clogging. For finer shimmer inks or foil adhesives, an 85/86 mesh provides better control while still allowing adequate ink flow.
Why is 110 mesh commonly used in garment screen printing?
A 110 mesh count is widely used because it delivers a heavy ink deposit, making it ideal for bold graphics, block text, and high-viscosity plastisol inks. It is especially effective for white underbases, allowing printers to achieve strong opacity in a single pass and improve production efficiency.
What mesh count should I use for thick white plastisol ink?
A 125 mesh count is a strong choice for thick white plastisol inks. It balances ink flow and detail, offering slightly finer resolution than 110 mesh while still maintaining enough openness to prevent clogging or poor ink release.
What is the best all-purpose mesh count for t-shirt printing?
A 156/160 mesh count is considered the best general-purpose option for screen printing on garments. It works well with both plastisol and water-based inks, providing good detail retention while maintaining consistent ink coverage across most designs.
How can I achieve a soft-hand feel when printing with plastisol ink?
To create a softer print with plastisol ink, use a higher mesh count such as 196/200. This reduces the amount of ink deposited on the garment, resulting in a lighter, smoother feel. Keep in mind that higher mesh counts may reduce opacity, making this approach best for lighter fabrics or fashion prints.
What mesh count is ideal for halftones and fine detail printing?
A 230 mesh count is ideal for halftones, fine lines, and detailed artwork. It allows for precise stencil definition and clean ink transfer. For very fine detail or thinner inks, a 280 mesh count can further improve sharpness and control.
When should I use a 305 mesh screen for screen printing?
A 305 mesh count is best for ultra-fine detail, including small halftone dots, CMYK process printing, and simulated process designs. The higher thread count ensures accurate dot reproduction and prevents distortion, resulting in sharper, more professional prints.
