dye clog in between the mesh is normal, because you exposed the block to air, the dye will keras.
u still need to wash the block with soap, but dont forget to put hardener to your block before print.

wash each time you use it for a better result. the ink confirm will stuck one lah. lol

Yes you too?

Hiii~~!!!!

Stumble on your awesome thread!!!

Can I ask you some questions?

1. I wanted to buy the photo emulsion from http://www.khailien.com.my, but don't really get what is on the website. How to choose the right one? Thank you!

2. Maybe you can tell me how to choose the sensitizer?

Thank you!

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Just to double check my understanding:
1. prepare the light box and other stuff.
2. draw on a paper. Put on the glass layer and put some oil.
3. prepare the screen, scoop the emulsion and mix with the sensitizer, spread it on the screen using (squeegee?), have to be thin, then blow dry with hairdryer.
4. place on the oiled paper, layer with a black paper, put weight on it for 7 min.
5. wash it up with water.

is it like this?

Thank you!

yes its like that , you dont really need a squeegee. metal ruler also can

for the emulsion , if you stay around subang // kl area you can get your emulsion from art friend in gardens // vision art in sunway
I think khailien sangat jauh its all the way in bangi and cheras.


i recommend socomask , ( its the black container , the emulsion is purple )
I bought the emulsion from somewhere in kl i cant remember ._.


can get it from here http://www.haikuang.com//index.php?option=...tid=12&Itemid=3

Hi,

just to share

Khai lien have many type of emulsion, there are for t-shirt(garment), pvc,metal etc.
the best for you is to drop by their shop and ask them.

i'v used khai lien emulsion, they have the purple (come with sanitizer), pink(premix with sanitizer), and green(come with sanitizer)

the best is the purple, it can give you very sharp image.

But compare than khai lien, hai kuang gives you a cheaper price for the purple emulsion.
i still using the hai kuang(socomask)

waaa...u sudah berjaya giler skarang..i follow ur post from 1 page..mule2 blajar dr basic..skarang ade company!! congrat!!!

i just bought the photoemulsion just now.. from KHAI LIEN.. brand foteco...but, how to use the sensitizer?? the sensitizer in a sachet..how to prepare?? can use sikit2 ke?? lpas tu simpan?? can?? plss someone help me!

OMG congratulations ! hahahahahaha hows business ?

Added on May 27, 2010, 9:44 pmhello Yang =)

how we got the images on to the screen is cause of the sensitive emulsion. Just like film in film camera , you can't expose your film to light cause it will be exposed. Thats how it works with the emulsion , the black part of the images blocks the light from entering the screen and thats how your image can be burn on to the screen.

the list of things you need is on the first page =D
