Is the transparency face up or face down when exposing?

[@speedball_art]

We recommend keeping the printed side away from the screen so that the transparency sheet doesn't stick to the screen!

I want to get this for my kids. Ive done a lot of screen printing at larger operations, but wanted something 'bite size' for the kids. so, What is the image printed on? Looks kinda like a vellum or trace, as it's translucent. Which would be easier for my kids to use than transparencies with the home set up. Let me know. Thanks

[@speedball_art]

These are transparencies printed from inkjet printers. This advanced all in one kit includes two Speedball brand inkjet transparencies, but you can also buy the Speedball brand transparencies in packs of 6.

​@@speedball_arthow many times is one sheet used for? Is it multi use per one sheet or is it one time use for one design? If I'm reusing the same design, is what I'm asking.

What type of paper do you use to get print on the screen painting board.. idk if wording this correctly

[@speedball_art]

For clarification, are you asking what type of paper the image is being printed onto?

[@final_cut_]

Vellum or similar. You can use regular paper too, if you put a clear oil or something like that to make the paper more transparent.

I cannot get the image to come out correctly with this kit. I am following the directions for the emulsion, allowing it to dry for at least 4 hours in a completely dark space and then exposing it for 8 minutes at 16 inches with the provided light. When I go to rinse the unexposed emulsion out, the exposed emulsion comes with it in areas of fine detail. I have tried several attempts, slightly increased the exposure time, and tried using a small, soft brush but that tends to pull the exposed emulsion off as well. Any suggestions?

[@SyntheticStuntMan]

its just a matter of dialing in your exposure time. once you get it down its easy. getting the right time is probably the hardest part and can be frustrating. dont give up.

Is that a uv lamp? Are they safe to use or do you need protective equipment?

[@speedball_art]

Speedball has a UV lamp for exposing screens that is safe to use without protective equipment: www.speedballart.com/our-product-lines/speedball-printmaking/speedball-screen-printing/led-lamp/

Time exposure ?

[@speedball_art]

It depends on the size of the screen being exposed

[@nivlevi5599]

The screen in the kit is 10x14, this is a tutorial of how to use the kit. How long do you expose it on this screen with this lamp and from what distance? That is an important detail you left out. Please answer @@speedball_art

Please answer @speedball_art Overall, this is a bad tutorial video, it is missing so much information and its essentially useless. It would be great if you can make an actual tutorial and not half ass it.

Hi! ❤️ we have more detailed information in other tutorials as well!

Hi

@@nivlevi5599why are you acting like the search bar doesn’t exist?

[@nivlevi5599]

@@chandlersamargia2995 Hi Chandler. I have searched this on google, reddit threads, and SpeedballArt official website and products manual. There is no information about the exposure time with this specific lamp. This is a basic piece of information that an all-in-one kit manual should have. Kindly find someone else to troll.

@@nivlevi5599 ​ Agree this video is of no real value other than to advertise the kit. I'm more annoyed that the kit sold in some regions contain fewer bottles of ink, yet probably cost the same or more than in the US. Meh.
