Frequently Asked Questions on Screen Printing Lights

What light to use for screen printing?

For screen printing, UV lights with a wavelength around 395nm are typically used. This specific wavelength activates the photo-reactive chemicals in emulsions, creating properly exposed screens. The power of the light (measured in watts) affects how quickly and evenly the exposure happens.

Do you screen print dark or light first?

When screen printing multiple colors, it's generally best practice to print light colors first, then move to darker colors. This order helps prevent darker inks from showing through lighter colors. However, the exact sequence can vary depending on the specific design and technique being used.

Can you use LED light for screen printing?

Yes, LED lights can be used for screen printing. In fact, LED lights have become popular for screen printing because they provide consistent UV output at the right wavelength (typically 395nm), use less energy than traditional bulbs, and generate less heat during the exposure process.

How long does it take to screen print UV light?

Most emulsions require between 3-8 minutes of exposure with a quality UV light. The exact time depends on several factors: the type and thickness of the emulsion, the power and distance of the light source, and the density of the positive film being used. Testing is often needed to find the optimal exposure time for your specific setup.
