Screen Printing Tips for Stencil Durability

Achieving optimal exposure is crucial for screen printing frames. Under-exposure compromises stencil durability and post-exposure has limited effectiveness.

• Full exposure is key for durability. Under-exposure leads to stencil breakdown.
• Post-exposure won’t salvage severely under-exposed emulsion.
• Photopolymer emulsions benefit slightly from post-exposure but won’t match optimal durability.
• Evaluate other factors before under-exposing for fine details.
• Regularly check emulsion exposure time.
• Use yellow or orange mesh for fine detail printing.
