Review: Let’s goooooo I finally got it to work!🗣🗣🗣 It took some trial and error, but this emulsion does work once you get the process right. My first mistake was using a putty knife instead of a proper scoop coater, and I had the light too far away which led to overexposure.🦧 On my second try, I used an actual scoop coater and moved the LED light closer. I exposed the screen for 10–30 seconds and it came out great. Review: Lovely product. High viscosity, but longer drying time unless using a fan in room. Fast exposure time! I print with a 125w flood lamp and I've found 2 mins and 40secs is perfect! ## Features - Beginner Emulsion - This emulsion is literally made to work with all screen printing inks.

I've been a hobbyist screen printer for nearly thirty years and I know how to expose screens and I know how frustrating it can be to try to dial in a new product, but I just won't waste my time with this one any more. The instructions on the jar have to be 2 pt. type and you need a microscope to read them, but they didn't help. I exposed with a 50W UV LED for 30 seconds—overexposed. I exposed for 15 seconds, still over exposed. I exposed a single coat for 8 seconds and I still could not get anything to wash out. I contacted customer support at Ecotex and they have not replied. I'm going to look for another product, which is a shame since this would be perfect for someone like me who only prints a couple of times a year. ## Frequently Bought Together - Ecotex® Beginner Screen Printing Emulsion (8 oz.) - Pre-Sensitized Ready to Use Photo Emulsion for Silk Screens and Fabric - for Plastisol Ink and Water Based Ink, Screen Printing Supplies - Speedball Fabric Screen Printing Ink, 8-Ounce, Peacock Blue - 3 Yards 1.27 Meters Silk Screen Printing Fabric Mesh Screen Printing Mesh Wide High Tension Mesh Making Ink Supplies 110 Mesh（43T） --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/667918154-screen-print-direct-ecotex-beginner-printing-emulsion-8-oz-pre](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/667918154-screen-print-direct-ecotex-beginner-printing-emulsion-8-oz-pre) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
