Direct Emulsion
Direct emulsions are known for their exceptional light sensitivity, which allows for faster exposure and easy reclaiming. They are ideal for decorators who prioritize quick setup and simple cleaning, making them perfect for shops focused on short runs, fashion printing, or rapid prototyping. With direct emulsion, screen printers achieve crisp detail and smoother halftones without sacrificing durability.

They maintain stencil integrity under high production demands, ensuring consistent image reproduction and reduced press downtime. Dual cure emulsions offer decorators the flexibility to handle complex designs, multi-color prints, and challenging ink systems without compromising quality.
