Keep in mind we are very inexperienced screen printers and are just now navigating our way around. We used Speedball's website for instructions on printing (there are several ways to print). Following their online guide really helped. The first run, we applied too much emulsion and it created dots or drips from pooling at certain places on the screen. Lesson learned, we moved on and applied it much thinner the next time and that eliminated the drips.Yes, they tell you this, but as a newbie, you think you're painting on enough but there is such thing as too much. We refrigerated the solution as instructed and it has performed well being preserved. Another hard lesson we learned is that screen cleaner is NOT the same thing as emulsion remover. We cleaned for well over an hour with just screen cleaner and it does not break up used/exposed emulsion. You need an emulsion remover to tackle this stuff. Though we did end up trying some home remedies to clean off the emulsion (lemon or citrus cleaners, hard spray (without a pressure washer) and scrubbing. We saved the screen for another use without purchasing the emulsion remover, but we will add that to our arsenal. This is a fun, albeit learning process. I now hold higher admiration for those screen printing companies that put a lot of work and apply the right methods to making a t-shirt. This is fun, but if you plan more than stencil screen prints, there is an art to it. Hopefully, we'll become artists with a little practice and patience. Review: It always works - Good stuff. ## Features - CREATE HIGHLY DETAILED IMAGES - Allows artists to create detailed or photographic type stencils for screen printing - NO DARK ROOM NEEDED - Get professional-grade results without the need for expensive equipment and darkrooms.

And what’s the best recommended light source??** A: I use a 500W Halogen lamp mounted 15" above for 5-10 min depending on design, thickness of coat, etc. I've also used a black light for 6-8 minutes at same height with good results. This emulsion works either way, but is very light sensitive. So must be kept in a light safe area until complete. This is the best product I've used for ease of use. **Q: Can the speed diazo photo emulsion be used on paper for regular photographs** A: No, it is specific for filling screen printing screens. Film photographs require a different set of chemicals. **Q: Hi, how long i have to wait after mixing to use it ?** A: First wait at least 30 minutes to get rid of any bubbles, expose the emulsion to as little light as possible. The sensitized emulsion can be stored (according to the bottle) in a cool, dark place for about 8 weeks at room temperature (70F), or four months in the refrigerator. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Newbies Take Note - Use Online Support with Speedball; Loads of Fun with Patience *by S***O on February 6, 2016* This emulsion works very well.

This stuff works perfectly, but I am glad I had an experienced teacher. Spreading it to the correct thickness, exposing it correctly and then washing off the excess without blowing out details was a but tricky. I probably should have picked less detailed art to start, but I also probably learned more by using art I really do want to print. In any case, the only improvement I could suggest is to add a 1.5 oz measuring cup to measure the water for the sensitizer, but eyeballing did work. However, the shipping can be a nightmare as others have noted. My first order was shipped in an envelope with no protection for the thin Speedball box inside. The bottle was crushed and the emulsion had leaked. I could not even get the envelope open because it was one solid mass of emulsion. The replacement order was shipped in a box and arrived with no damage. Since the shipping was done by Amazon, I did not take off any stars from the product. I hope that Amazon addresses the packing issue because it is a great product once you get an intact set. ## Frequently Bought Together - Speedball Diazo Photo Emulsion, 26.4-Ounce - Speedball Diazo Photo Emulsion Remover - 32 oz Professional Screen Cleaning Solution - Screen Printing Reclaiming - Made in USA - Dual Edge Aluminum Emulsion Scoop Coater for Silk Screen Printing Coating Tool (10 Inch) --- ## 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.tn/products/2025988-diazo-photo-emulsion-26-4-ounce](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/2025988-diazo-photo-emulsion-26-4-ounce) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-06-01*
