A great print needs a high-quality stencil. To make that high-quality stencil, you need a high performance emulsion. Browse the selection of emulsions and chemicals offered by Baselayr. With three emulsion options, Baselayr makes emulsion simple. If you’re wondering which emulsion is best for your shop.
Since this diazo emulsion is a user-friendly emulsion, new printers and individuals with DIY darkrooms can use this emulsion and see amazing results. The emulsion works for both water-based and plastisol inks, so printers do not need to have several different kinds of emulsions stocked. Its high solids formula strengthens the emulsion’s adhesion to the mesh, providing better on-press longevity.
NOTE: This emulsion comes with a big of photosensitizer. photosensitizer must be added to the emulsion for it to work.
Features:
Resistant to all water-based ink systems.
No emulsion hardeners needed.
Durable enough for print runs using aggressive water-based and discharge ink systems.
Holds great detail while printing.
High solids concentration allows for superior bridging of mesh.
Uses diazo, which enhances detail resolution.

EXPOSURE VARIABLES
Exposure variables depend on mesh count, mesh color, stencil thickness and moisture level in the coated screen. Keep humidity levels below 40% at all times. Use a dehumidifier to ensure proper darkroom humidity levels.
More moisture = Under Exposed and difficult to rinse out / Less moisture = proper exposure and maximum detail resolution.
Yellow mesh = slower exposure and more detail resolution / White mesh = faster exposure
HELPFUL HINTS TO ENSURE YOUR EMULSION LASTS LONGER
Store in a cool area. The emulsion will break down much faster in heat. Keeping emulsion in a fridge can slightly extend its shelf life; however, emulsion that has frozen will no longer work properly and must be replaced.
Keep the emulsion lid on tight to preserve air and light leaks.
Gently mix the emulsion each time before use to help extend the life.
To ensure best results, date the emulsion and keep an extra container on hand once the emulsion is about to expire.
Environmental factors such as temperature and humidity can cause the emulsion to expire more quickly.
