Photo Emulsion Dry Time at Rebecca Morris blog

Photo Emulsion Dry Time. It’s dry to the touch, but what you can’t see or feel with your hands is that the emulsion is not cured. Where the emulsion washes out entirely (both the positive and negative image) it is underexposed, where the positive image is very hard to wash out it is overexposed. Essentially, photo emulsion becomes tougher when exposed to light, making it more difficult to remove from surfaces. We suggest letting emulsion dry overnight this is usually the appropriate amount of time and then some. After a couple hours, we have a screen that is coated in photo emulsion. To find the optimum time for exposure, follow the emulsion manufacturer’s recommendation. Now you have your optimum time, you are prepared to expose your real screen. Emulsion cannot be wet before exposing, so it doesn’t hurt to give yourself. If this does not work, using a stouffer’s 21 step transmission scale test strip or this free exposure calculator will tell you exactly how long you need to expose your screens to light. The drying time may vary depending on environmental conditions, so be patient and allow sufficient time for the screen.
