Be very careful with the Diazo Packet!

Be very careful with the Diazo Packet!
Ok so I bought this because I needed a suitable alternative to Speedball's Daizo Photo Emulsion. And it does it's job, yeah when washing out it needs a little bit of light scrubbing with a tooth brush but it comes out crisp. Just be very careful with the sensitizer packet, it's a little finicky. Especially when filling it. But all in all if you're working on smaller projects this is a pretty good deal for what you're paying for. I'm including pictures since it seems that no one has included what their screens looked like. Overall it's a decent photo emulsion and it's definitely cheaper than buying a small 8 oz jar of photo emulsion.

I was easily able to set up a couple dozen small screens with this emulsion over the course of about 4 weeks and it worked well to the end. I stored the product, after opening and activating, in a dark, cold closet where I usually let the screens set overnight before burning in the sun for 45 seconds and hosing them down with my weak hose for a few minutes. In hindsight, I should have used a pressure washer to clean out the image, because when this emulsion sets, it can handle the pressure. They are easy to clean ink off without effecting the photo emulsion, and the photo emulsion cleans off easily with the proper remover. Note that I had used 110 mesh screens and water based inks.

It worked well for someone just starting out in 1-color printing, but I will definitely purchase in the future when I feel like taking on multi-color! Needless to say, I highly recommend this!

This is an edited review because the first time I gave it 1 star and joked about what a terrible product it was. But then after gaining a bit of experience with it I came to realize that, when used correctly (controlled lighting and time for exposure. It’s very important you have the timing right), this is actually an incredibly good product. I like it so much that I will probably only ever buy this emulsion it’s a soaring achievement of a product

I don't understand any of the negative reviews, I degreased my screen(crucial step most people leave out), coated it in the emulsion, let it dry for about 4 hours and used a 500w halogen lamp about 20'' above to burn my screen for 5 minutes and power washed out the rest, no scrubbing needed. Design came out crisp. Will definitely buy again.

1.0 out of 5 stars Does not work!

Literally the worst emulsion I’ve ever used. Decided to give this brand a chance, I shouldn’t have. Not sure if I got a bad batch or what, but I can’t get anything to burn from it. Even when I use a 500 watt light for 40 minutes. Nothing shows up on my screens. Then when I go to rinse it the emulsion starts to come off with just water! And after adding the sensitizer the emulsion turned a weird green. This brand of emulsion is not good. I recommend spending the money on a quality brand before you waste money with this one.

This is the easiest emulsion for beginners just follow all of the directions mix the activator and you are ready to go. I found that some mixtures have exposure times that vary so make sure with each new batch you run a test strip for accurate exposure

i bought this thinking the description fit exactly what i was looking for, but after purchasing i was looking for more detailed instructions on mixing the diazo on screen printing direct's website and only there do they say the shelf life is one week after activation. so i returned it because i am one small person who could not possibly find enough screens in the world to coat in one week and use up the whole pint. the only reason i give it 3 stars is because i couldn't actually use it for my personal needs, i have no idea well the product works. though i shipped out my return on december 29th and it still says it hasn't reached its return destination, which should be domestic so i don't know how it's not even there yet. hoping the customer service is good and they get back soon cause it's been a pretty disappointing experience so far.
