We recently switched after testing several. We went with Chromaline DTS Z1. The resolution is excellent.

I base my choice on resolution, durability, exposure time and lastly and less important price. But color is not one i thought of. Thanks

Ulano Orange has been what I use most consistently. Only down side is my films like to stick to it when it gets warmer out. I tried some cordless dehumidifier in the screen room last week and it's cut down on the tackiness but still get the occasional trashed film on the lower S-Threads

We use murakami t9 here.  The resolution is superb.
It's not a job if you love doing it.

t9.  it's great stuff.

Speaking of emulsion color, we have never had a green emulsion that works, sounds strange, but no matter what we do, it's always a problem.

  Ulano RLX. I am now doing mostly solvent inks and I have excellent durability and fine detail.

Saati PHU for WB/DC. I've also have had issues with green emulsions which is a pain because we have to order it separate from a different supplier.

we just switched to Saati PHU HR, and it's pretty awesome.

I've been using the chromalime with fine results.

It's nice and green.

will be looking into others as we start venturing into WB and discharge

I've been using Saati PHU for 3 years with a Saati 300W LED lamp.
Love it.
