ChromaTech WR anyone

Any of you guys using this new Chromaline emulsion? Would love to hear more about it.

We have been using it for a few months now. We've done one order which was 400 shirts 2 color discharge front and back and the screens held up fine.  A bunch other smaller orders with waterbase and discharge with no problem.  I haven't completely dialed in our exposure times with it yet but we've done a few 4CP orders and a few Sim Process orders and the halftones exposed fine.  We are a Manual print shop, so we are not exactly at the highest end of precision and volume ... but it's been working well for us.

Its diazo base?

It is a single part ready to use emulsion.  Fast exposure works pretty well.

Right, water resistant photopolymer emulsion. I was skeptical at first, but so far so good.  I'm curious if any big shops are using it with really high quantity discharge/waterbase runs...

price?

[KevWilso]

We have it at $64.00; or $60.00 each if you do a 4 gallon case.  Free shipping on order of $100.00 or more.

Would you mind giving me an idea about exposure times please.
Chromaline were so forthcoming not to include any guidlines on the Mfd.

I did find it interesting that Chromaline didn't include any exposure guidelines at all on this product's user guide (as they do on PL-2 and others) However, as is (or should be) SOP with any new emulsion, sacrifice a screen and do a step wedge type test encompassing times half and twice as long as you'd use with a similar product.

He's warming up in the bullpen, but may not be needed.

About 40 Seconds for 110T.  I have a 850W MH Nuarc exposure unit.  I coat 1/1 round side.  I changed my bulb a few weeks ago and haven't yet dialed in the higher mesh.

Thanks a lot man. I`ve to say though that this emulsion is pretty tacky.

That's what the wife often says about me.

Yeah definitely a bit tackier than our last emulsion... but so far it's working out.
