To achieve the best results with Ecotex Textile Red emulsion, we recommend using Ecotex Hyper Haze to degrease your screen and provide a clean surface for the emulsion to adhere to. Ensure that the room is free of any UV light, and work under a yellow light. Additionally, record the date you opened the emulsion on the bottle to better track your chemical usage.

When coating the screen, use the sharp edge of your scoop coater to achieve an even, consistent layer. Make sure the screen is completely dry before coating the emulsion and before printing. For optimal drying, maintain a temperature between 86°F and 104°F (30°C and 40°C) with a humidity level of 30% to 50%, and ensure good air circulation.

Exposure times may vary, so start with the recommended times (10-12 seconds with LED light or 6.5-7 minutes with a 500-watt halogen light) and make adjustments as needed.
