Baselayr Emulsion Prep is a high-tech degreaser formulated to improve the life of all emulsion stencils during printing. The emulsion prep increases the stencil lifespan specifically for those printing water-based and discharge inks. The degreaser removes all dust and oils from both new and previously reclaimed screens to eliminate pinholes, fisheyes, and streaks in the emulsion. The prep contains a special chemical that helps all emulsions create a superior bond to the mesh.
For new printers or individuals unsure about their reclaim processes, we strongly encourage you to use Baselayr Emulsion Prep as your final step when reclaiming. Removing impurities in the water and prepping the mesh for proper emulsion adhesion is important. Baselayr Emulsion Prep is a safety measure to achieve a properly cleaned screen.
For long run water-based/discharge productions, it's recommended to use the Emulsion Prep with Baselayr Complete.
