Pre emulsion Flim
« on: August 23, 2017, 11:02:54 AM »
Anyone still using or have use pre emulsion film, I think they might have called it Fat film back in the day, it came in black tubes at least the stuff I got was in those tubes.  I thought back then it was a great idea because the everything was even thickest, the brand I had was from Ulano, but my biggest problem was I could never get it to work right which I know is all on me.

You talkin' about capillary film? Essentially emulsion made into sheets, insuring the exact same thickness no matter what mesh it's applied on.

That's the stuff Frog, capillary film, but I also thought they called it fat film for doing HD prints.

The Fat Film was most likely for HD printing. 200-600 micron

I still have a few sheets too. People liked it, but didn't want to pay for it. We printed our logo with an HD base, and then 3 colors on top...

Does anyone know of a cap film that will work for wb/dc? We get very little call for it but it would be nice to just say yes.
Thanks.

Call Chromaline and ask for Mick Orr. He can and will answer any question you have. I'm sure they have something available. but I don't really understand why you would need cap film with WB/DC.The real advantage to it besides the crisp edges( todays high res emulsions are right in there though) is having the ink well and with a flood improves squeegee speed and improves the evenness of the print. with WB/dc you are hammering it into the garment with minimal ink so the end result is a super soft hand and bright print. Great question but I don't see the advantage.
