Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. - Thomas Edison
Most customers using inkjet film and a pure photopolymer emulsion will have some issues with the film sticking to the emulsion during exposure. That is because the inkjet film has an aqueous receptive coating on it so that it can absorb the inks themselves to create a dark (dense) positive or negative. Pure photopolymer emulsions will absorb moisture from the air. When you put the two together they are both trying to absorb each others moisture, thus causing them to stick together. We at Chromaline developed the Chroma Tech TD emulsion with this in mind. It does a great job of keeping the film from sticking. We coated a screen with 110 mesh on it with the TD emulsion and placed a piece of imaged AccuJet film on it. We then placed the screen inside a 100% humidity chamber overnight. The next morning we took the screen from the chamber and immediately drew vacuum and exposed it. Upon completion of the exposure we removed the film and it did not stick to the exposed TD emulsion at all. I knew that there had to be a better and cleaner way of keeping film from sticking than using powder. The answer was to create an emulsion that would not stick to the film.
How is the T-9 coating for you? Any issues?
