Screen Coating (direct emulsion)

Many questions are asked about the method and amount of passes when applying emulsion. Frankly, do what you need to do to get an even smooth coating making sure your last "cleaning" pass is made on the "squeegee side" forcing the heavier coating to the "print side" as discussed previously under "Screen Drying".

Fact: Capillary emulsion films are applied to the "print side" of a screen because that is the proper side to have the heaviest layer of emulsion on for reasons of proper exposure and printing. You need to achieve the same result using direct emulsions.
