  • DEGREASE

Work up a lather on both sides of mesh to degrease. Be sure to use only a high-quality mesh degreaser, such as Chroma/Clean designed specifically for this purpose. Rinse thoroughly.

 

  • COAT

Fill scoop coater with room temperature emulsion. Slowly apply first coat to print side. Next, coat squeegee side with 1-3 coats depending upon thickness required. For most art, a 1X1 coating will be optimal. If a thicker stencil is required, apply additional wet-on-wet coatings from the squeegee side.

 

Note:

• ChromaBlue is presensitized. Stir before use.

• Keep pail covered when not in use.

• Return clean unused emulsion from scoop coater to pail and cover as soon as possible.

 

  • DRY

Dry screen thoroughly in horizontal position with print side down, using a completely clean and dark drying cabinet. Temperature should not exceed 110ºF (43ºC).

 

  • EXPOSE

Using the 10-Step Exposure Guide to determine proper exposure times for ChromaBlue, place emulsion side of photopositive in contact with print side of screen. Exposure times for ChromaBlue are very short and accurate exposure is important for optimal results. See exposure guidelines at right.

 

  • DEVELOP

Gently spray both sides of screen with lukewarm water, wait 30 seconds then gently wash print side of the screen until image is fully open. Rinse both sides thoroughly. Dry screen completely and you are ready to print.

 

  • RECLAIM

Apply a high quality screen reclaimer, such as Chroma/Strip to both sides. Scrub area to be reclaimed with a stiff nylon brush to ensure entire surface is wet and let sit until stencil begins to dissolve. Remove stencil residue with pressure washer, then rinse with hose, thoroughly flooding screen and frame.

 

*Do not let reclaimer dry

 

EXPOSURE GUIDELINES

Note: Exposure times are suggested only as a guide. Individual exposure times may vary depending upon equipment used, bulb age, and other shop conditions.

 

Suggested exposure times are as follows: Suggested starting exposure times on QuickImage LED exposure unit:

- 110 white mesh: 13-17 sec

- 110 yellow mesh: 14-28 sec

 

* Exposure times were determined using the Chromaline Exposure Calculator.

  • Color: Blue
  • Solids: 50% (more of the good stuff)
  • Viscosity: Medium
  • Fast Drying (since there's less water)
  • Superior Mesh Bridging
  • Excellent Reclaimability

ChromaBlue emulsion should be stored at room temperature and should not be stored at temperatures above 80°F (27°C) or below 32°F (0°C). ChromaBlue pure photopolimer emulsion should be stored in its original container. Protect from freezing. ChromaBlue is not freeze/thaw stable.
