Good product for beginners and pros

By Scruffy Belmont

Pros

Best Uses

Comments about Speedball Diazo Photo Screen Printing Emulsions:

This product works exactly as it's supposed to. If you are trying to get serious about screen printing though you would want to look into different emulsions for specific things. I know the pink emulsion is my favorite. I use it for clothing only though. Anyways, this product is great and the price couldn't be better. A little tip though, someone said that you need to use it quickly because of shelf life, but if you put it in a ziploc bag and keep it in the fridge, it lasts a lot longer. Also, blick provides UNION ink which is simply the best. Good going on your quality products BLICK! That's what you get when the store is actually run by artists. Rock on!

Great Yudu Replacement

Comments about Speedball Diazo Photo Screen Printing Emulsions:

I used this to replace the Yudu emulsion sheets. This is a fantastic replacement. Washed screen over and over again and the emulsion didn't deteriorate. Would have never been able to do this with the Yudu Emulsion sheets.

Good cheap alternative to film sheets

By Satisfied business owner

from Tecumseh, OK

Pros

Cons

Best Uses

Comments about Speedball Diazo Photo Screen Printing Emulsions:

This product is a great cheap alternative to emulsion sheets you tend to pay $10 per sheet but with this product you can make ATLEAST 10 screens up for the price of 2 a note to remember when rinsing the screen to reveal the stensil DO NOT RUB HARD or your stensil will mess up I had to learn this on my own its better to take a sprayer hose and spray it out then very very gently run your finger over it. Bottom line this is a great product! I am includng a look at some shirts I was able to design with this product.
