Premium Emulsion
Good screen printing results start with a good stencil, and the best stencils start with the right premium emulsion. Chromaline’s premium screen printing emulsion line is built for consistent coating, predictable imaging, long press life, and easier reclaim so production does not slow down due to screen issues or remakes.
When you choose a Chromaline screen printing emulsion, you are choosing a system designed to help you hold detail, keep edges sharp, and turn screens faster from job to job.
For a more complete workflow, Chromaline’s Integrated Screen Chemistry (iSC) is specially selected and formulated to work with Chromaline Premium Screen Printing Emulsions as a complete system. From degreasing and on press cleaning to reclaim support, iSC products are designed to help protect screen integrity and minimize stains so your results stay consistent from prep to press to reclaim.
What are the benefits of a premium emulsion?
A premium emulsion is made for repeatability. It helps you dial in exposure, hold detail on press, and reduce downtime caused by stencil failure or difficult reclaim.
Some of its benefits include the following:
✓ Cleaner imaging and sharper edges for fine lines and halftones where image quality matters.
✓ Durability matched to your ink system so the stencil holds up through the run.
✓ Faster screen room turnaround with premium options designed for efficient drying and exposure.
✓ More consistent results so you spend less time troubleshooting and remaking screens.
✓ Easier reclaim to help you reuse screens sooner and keep the workflow moving.
Premium emulsions are a strong fit for a wide range of applications, including textile, graphics, and specialty printing where consistency and durability matter.
