Where do you guys with the 3140's have your LTU's set at? I guess what I'm asking is how long is a 10 ltu exposure, 10 seconds? Earlier in the day 10 ltu's on our richmond is faster than after we've shot 30 screens, it's noticeable. Having the light integrator is very valuable in my opinion, especially if you're doing high end stuff. 10 ltu's for us is approximately 75-90 seconds and that seems like forever sometimes. That's why I have such a hard time thinking about moving to a dual cure. 3-5 minute shoots ain't gonna work when we are busy.

You can only do one screen at a time though? If we start getting to 60-100 screens a day we will probably have to get an exposure unit that can do 2 23x31 screens at a time.
CCI have an orange emulsion out too now called TX-orange, I'm told its thicker than the Ulano product so should give a good build on coarse meshes.
Well we have gone through 2 buckets of Ulano Orange and just ordered two more buckets of Ulano QTX.We are off the orange, just not worth the $20.00 / bucket savings to us.Thinner mix, fussier stick to screens, doesn't seem to reclaim as well and just don't like the color. Other than that how was the play Ms Lincoln?mooseman
Exactly my findings. At first we thought this is the emulsion we have been looking for but too many issues popped up. Next I will try Xenon products. Do they have a website, tried to google it without any luck.
NNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. . . .sorry Sonny. . .I think they make that sh!t in a bathtub. . ..
Cant find their website anymore but it sucked ^%& big time. Hopefully they are revamping it. Here is a link to their ebay store http://stores.ebay.com/xenonproductsdirectI am sure Sonny aka Printficient would give you better pricing, he is a member here.

cant believe you are exposing 110 at 70 ltu on a 3140. I expose for 28 ltu on the same model and at my old shop on an old 3140 I also exposed at 28 ltu. QTX or Kiwo Discharge, they both expose the same. Thats odd you need 70 ltu.
