1. Apply one or two coats of emulsion to the print side.
2. Reverse the screen and apply one or two coats to the

Drying
Dry the screen in a horizontal position with the print side down in a clean dry room. Follow these guidelines to ensure complete drying:
86° to 104 ° F
30% to 50% relative humidity
Good air circulation
*To achieve the desired humidity levels the use of a dehumidifier is recommended
Exposure
For best results use an exposure calculator to determine the exact exposure time. Proper exposure is determined by a emulsion type, emulsion thickness and exposure unit type.
