Speedball - Diazo Photo Emulsion & Sensitizer Set

Diazo Photo Emulsion & Sensitizer Set

Create photographic screen prints with fine detail minus the darkroom

Screen printing photographic images requires emulsion and sensitizer mixed at precise ratios, miss the proportion and your stencil fails. This set eliminates guesswork by pairing Speedball's Diazo Photo Emulsion with its matched sensitizer in quantities formulated to work together. Mix the 2 oz. sensitizer powder into the 26.4 fl. oz. emulsion, and you're ready to coat screens for exposing detailed photographic stencils.

Diazo chemistry delivers professional results without darkroom equipment. The sensitized emulsion remains workable under normal室内lighting, hardening only when exposed to UV light through your transparency. Once exposed and washed out, the resulting stencil handles both water-soluble and solvent-based inks on polyester screen fabrics. Fine details hold, halftones, photographic textures, intricate line work all transfer cleanly.

When you're ready to reclaim screens, Speedball's Photo Emulsion Remover breaks down the hardened stencil completely. This system works for edition printing where consistent, detailed imagery matters, from photo-based prints to complex graphic work that demands sharp resolution.
