Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. - Thomas Edison
Sp1400 works great for waterbase runs without hardener.My only complaint is that it's hard to reclaim.
SP-1400 is one of our best emulsions for just about any textile printing. Jason I am curious what are you using to wash out inks from the screen? Any screen openers or hot solvents? Typically I see it reclaiming easily and melting right off. If you underexpose and use screen openers a lot for ink changes, or acetone, MEK, and even parts washer chems you can can lock in SBQ emulsions only see this, but it is possible the cleaners are causing your lock in on a diazo, which is rare. LED exposure has some issues in that you can completely cure the print side while the inside may have slight underexposure. With diazo this sensitivity may be lost once developed, but try post exposing with squeegee side toward the sun since some sensitivity may remain. Also avoid overcoating. SP-1400 has a high viscosity. 1:1 dull and 1:2 sharp is about all you will need. Overcoating could also result in loss of resolution and may cause underexposure on the squeegee side. My tests on an LED starlight were impressive. 19 seconds on a 200Y or 110W. Very strong exposure. If any other manufacturers want to send us a loaner I would love to calibrate all my emulsions on your units with proper coat, eom, and times by mesh.TDS sheet format does need some revision Rockers, We are in the process of updating them for our new website. Also we have changed our diazo packaging. We are sending diazo out in aluminum pouches which preserves the diazo better than the old bottles. You can add water to the bag and fold over twice to mix, or add diazo to a wide mouth container and add water and mix.SP-1400 can be used without hardeners for short runs, or MS hardener for longer auto runs. MS hardener allows SP-1400 to remain reclaimable with a slightly higher concentrated reclaim solution. My test shows it comes off easily. If you see it difficult to reclaim try switching your screen cleaning chemistry to Murakami SC501, 505, 507 that are compatible clean up chemistries. Al
