How to Use the Chromaline 10-Step Exposure Guide
1. Attach the Guide to Your Exposure Unit
- Tape the Chromaline 10-Step Exposure Guide directly to the glass of your exposure system.
- Position it in an area that will be fully exposed to light during the exposure process.
2. Expose Your Screen as Normal
- Coat, dry, and expose the screen using your standard exposure settings.
- Develop the stencil as you normally would.
3. Evaluate the Results
- Examine the 10 steps on the scale after development.
- Look for the step where the emulsion still holds, but the next step starts to wash out.
- If too many steps wash out, your screen is underexposed → Increase exposure time.
- If too few steps wash out, your screen is overexposed → Decrease exposure time.
4. Adjust Exposure as Needed
- Fine-tune your exposure times until you achieve a properly cured, durable stencil.
- Once the correct time is determined, use the guide to monitor screens regularly for consistency.
