[Ryonet]

Well we do our best to make these videos in such a way that the average person will find them helpful but we commend you for having the inginuity to make sun exposure work for you.

Is using sunlight to expose a bad idea? Or is it too unpredictable?

[Ryonet]

If it's your only option you could give it a try but yes, it's unpredictable.

Hey just wondering, if there is a specific type of printer that has to be used to print out the design onto the film?

[Ryonet]

Inkjet printer and if you're doing halftones you need a RIP program. Ryonet recommends epson printers with Accurip software

[andilikeswhatido]

can you expose a screen on the exposure unit for too long or too short?

[Ryonet]

Yes, you have to expose for a very specific time.

[CecilyHeron]

I'd have to disagree that you can't get high detail with this method. I've exposed numerous detailed images using this method and there's never any blurring. If you use a sheet of glass and a piece of black paper underneath you'll be fine.

i like it

I USE THE 500 WATT LIGHT WITH A FOAM UNDER THE SCREEN AND A SMALL FAN VENTING ...IT WORKS REALLY GOOD

[bblazeff]

if you have a high intensity exposure light , like at my work , you can burn screens way faster then this dude .. using flouresent bulbs is old school , you might as well bust out the films and chemicals ..

[bblazeff]

@karyballer the emulsion is light sensitive , and a yeloow light is neutral so its safe to work with in yellow lighting ..

[karyballer]

dont you need to do this in a dark room (yellow light) or is there an emulsion to work in a lighted room ??

[StrontiumDawg]

can't you just weight the glass, thus increasing the pressure? also what do you mean by light-safe environment...?

[exeque]

i heard that you need to use a certain screen . not the fabric one .

[schoenanimationz]

So what you are saying is that the low-budjet setup is not good for high detail because there is not enough pressure on the film and screen? Isn't it just easier to build the same setup but slightly better so there is more pressure on the film, and then you have a good exposure unit?
