CCI question
« on: October 20, 2012, 02:09:57 AM »
Has anyone here ever used emulsions by CCI? I always feel kind of intrigued by their offer of buying 1 get 1 free. You can get up to 4 Gallons free.
How about their inkjet films? Have you guys any experience with them?

I use Prochem PFX-HV emulsion and like it a lot. I am on my second gallon, and hope that I can wrangle another 2 for 1, but it is probably just the first time we try something.
That rug really tied the room together, did it not?

We use ProChem WR-25 - the best part is we pay 175.00 for a five.

At the SIGA show I got a sample of a new emulsion from my rep. Its WR-14. It is suppose to be the same as WR-25 but expose twice as fast. It is also a Diazo emulsion so you have to mix in the diazo. My rep has been trying to get me off Aquasol HV for a while and this is the 4th emulsion he has given me. I have a quart of the WR-25 but have never tried it. I like my shorter exposure times way too much. I will be trying out the WR-14 and will let you know what I think. If anyone has used WR-14 let me know what you think.

And don't forget to post your results to the growing Grand List of Emulsions. :)

We used one of their Prochem's. Pretty good stuff but had the annoying habit
of staying tacky even after drying, wrecking inkjet films. Couldn't figure
out what the hell we were doing wrong and then I switched back to Aquasol HV
and the problem disappeared.
