400 plus micron stencil

What's that, an extra $0.50 a screen? Dollar maybe?

but lets say it only works as well as another emulsion that is $80.  I know what I would be going with.  I am trying some $60 emulsion right now, I usually use some $85 stuff.

Hey now, I specifically put in the two qualifiers,  better prints, or faster production time.

When I was the overpaid grunt worker at Andy's, I constantly had to face chemical sales reps. I had my line down pat, and it's the same line as I give them today, "It has to be either better or as good but cheaper" (and I wasn't even paying the bill then.)
Save some coin, but be careful of the "penny wise, pound foolish" trap. Now, I trust Alan's judgement, but threw this out there just in case someone else can benefit from what we sometimes forget but all know is true.

Also, sometimes I will pay more for a product if I know i can get it fast when I need it.  Having a supply shop right next door helps with that.

I've never had any Ulano emulsion in production, I've tried samples over the years but nothing I really liked enough to put into use full time.  One of the emulsions that I really liked was around $100/gallon so you can see why I never pulled the trigger on that.

My current Ulano emulsion is less than half of $100/gal, 48% solids and builds nice thick stencils Alan.  A little bird told me it's really QTX, don't know if you've tried it, I DON'T like it without diazo though.
