Screen printing coating trough 35cm

Coating trough for A4 and A3 screen printing frames. For applying photo emulsion to the screen mesh.

This double-sided coating trough for screen printing ( 35 cm total width ) is used to apply the photo emulsion evenly to the screen mesh of the screen printing frame. The photo emulsion is poured into this trough and then applied to both sides of the mesh. Make sure you perform this step under yellow light. Daylight or artificial light sources can prematurely expose the emulsion and render it unusable.

When is the thin side and when is the thick side of the coating trough used?

You can use the thin side for all normal coatings for textile printing or screen printing on paper.

Use the thicker side when you want to apply a very thick layer of emulsion. This is useful, for example, if you want to print white ink onto a black T-shirt. The thicker emulsion layer allows you to push more ink through the screen. Keep in mind that a thicker emulsion layer may require different exposure times. Simply perform a step exposure test by testing different areas with varying exposure times.

This coating trough is ideally suited for our DIN A3 screen printing frames (portrait format), but also for our DIN A4 frames (landscape format).

The gutter is supplied with two black or white protective caps. Please remove these before use.
