Transform photographs and fine drawings into screenprinted artwork
Photographic precision in screen printing starts with proper emulsion chemistry. Speedball's diazo system creates stencils that capture fine line drawings, intricate lettering, and photographic halftones with clarity that direct-cut methods simply can't match. The two-part formulation keeps the 7-ounce emulsion stable for three years unmixed, then activates when you add the condensed sensitizer, mixing only what you need for current projects.
Sensitized emulsion remains workable for four weeks at room temperature, extending to four months when refrigerated between coating sessions. This flexibility matters when you're working on multiple projects or building a series over time rather than rushing through a single print run. The system includes 8 ounces of dedicated photo emulsion remover that cleans screens thoroughly without degrading mesh, essential for reclaiming screens and maintaining consistent coating quality across repeated uses.
The emulsion coats smoothly and exposes reliably under standard screen printing light sources. Fine details hold through coating, exposure, and washout, producing sharp edges in type and clean reproduction of photographic elements. Photographers exploring alternative processes and printmakers working with detailed imagery both benefit from the resolution this system delivers.
