Didn’t expect this result….
« on: May 23, 2026, 03:51:23 PM »
I quit printing over 4 years ago, but was asked by a family member to do a dozen shirts for a 50th anniversary. I had a drying cabinet still loaded with a half dozen screens that were coated sometime in 2022, so I agreed to print the shirts. The screens were coated with Chromalime emulsion and I didn’t expect them to be usable, but to my surprise, the screens exposed fine (35 seconds on my LED unit).
The storage cabinet sits in a room that is 65-75 degrees year round.

I know that this thread doesn’t offer any real value, but I found it interesting

…. Best wishes to all the families celebrating the memory of beloved veterans this weekend

I might be able to equal that.  I've always been a part-time printer.  When we sold our last house (around 2008), everything went into an outside storage unit (no temp control).  About 4 years later (circa 2012) I pulled everything out and set up again at a new place.  Probably had 10 or so coated screens (most likely QTX).  All the screens still exposed, washed out and were used.
