" Review: Missing stuff - The box was open, and it didn’t have the photo emulsion sensitizer. Very bad!!! Review: Almost put off by the price, but it goes far! - I thought, urgh, I'm not going to get much from this, but it's been going for a good while and I haven't run out. The emulsion/sensitiser is fab, works brilliantly, lovely and smooth to apply, and gives crisp printing. I've covered nearly ten screens (A4-ish) and still have plenty left. The emulsion remover works great, but the amount needed varies depending on how long the exposure has been burned. But I've been though nearly ten screens (about A4) and still have remover left. All in all, happy with product, and certainly would buy again when I finally run out! ## Features - Speedball’s Diazo Photo Emulsion is a 2-step process where the photo emulsion needs to be “activated.” To activate, the photo emulsion, sensitizer needs to be added. The sensitizer is a very thick oil and needs water to create the right consistency for adding it to the photo emulsion. (The sensitizer bottle will feel unfilled, but don’t worry it is not empty!) - No need for a light safe environment or darkroom! Mix photo emulsion under normal light conditions. - Conforms to ASTM D-4236. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0007ZHGWI | | Additional Features | Includes unique Sensitizer component for 2-step process | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Age range (description) | Adult | | Art Craft Kit Type | SCREEN_PRINTING | | Brand | Speedball | | Brand Name | Speedball | | Color | BLACK | | Colour | BLACK | | Country of Publication | USA | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 out of 5 stars 1,424 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00651032045592 | | Included Components | Instruction Guide | | Item Dimensions | 6.4 x 12.7 x 16.3 centimeters | | Item Weight | 0.6 Kilograms | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 6.4 x 12.7 x 16.3 centimeters | | Manufacturer | Speedball | | Manufacturer Part Number | 4559 | | Material | Polyester | | Material Type | Polyester | | Model Name | SP4559 | | Model Number | 4559 | | Number of Pieces | 1 | | Paint Type | Photoemulsion | | Product Style | Modern | | Scale | life-size | | Seasons | All Seasons | | Set Name | Kit | | Size | 5 inches x 2.5 inches x 6.4 inches | | Smart Home Compatibility | Not Smart Home Compatible | | Subject Character | General | | Theme | Abstract | | UPC | 885517755786 885373832393 046949791005 683203344920 110709394314 710977214620 046964393192 711938041484 651032045592 885726406530 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Age range (description):** Adult - **Brand:** Speedball - **Colour:** BLACK - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 6.4 x 12.7 x 16.3 centimeters - **Theme:** Abstract ## Images ![Art Products Diazo Photo Emulsion Kit for Screen Printing Frames - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81ODpoqoapL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does this require a specific grade lamp/bulb to solidify?** A: [Not sure what you mean by "solidify". Wipe the emulsion into the screen, then let it dry completely in a dark place, then expose it.] I use a generic 500w worklight, like from Lowes or Home Depot, 18 to 24 inches above the screen, about 9 minutes. No safety grill, which would cause shadows. You MUST experiment first... create a design with some pattern, then expose it in sections ... use a piece of cardboard to incrementally uncover more of the pattern so that one end gets X minutes, the next X+1 minutes, etc., then do the wash-out and see which worked best. **Q: After you open the bottle for the first time, how long can you store it before it dries up? Or is it essentially "use it as soon as you open it"?** A: I just burned a screen using a bottle of this emulsion that I mixed in April. So, a little over 4 months stored on the door in my fridge and it worked perfectly! In the past, I've never pushed it longer than a few weeks, but it definitely worked. **Q: HOW MANY SCREENS CAN YOU MAKE WITH THIS KIT?** A: Ive made 8 17x14 screens, and ive got about 1/3 of the bottle remaining. (plus i scoop coat both sides of each screen). I use a "scoop coater" highly recommended for even spreading and to use a bit less goop. I keep the unused bottle in the firdge and Ive had it work after 8 mo... **Q: can you use organza fabric stretched on embroidery hoop? also is there a specific transparency you have to use? thanks** A: I use an embroidery hoop all the time. Stretch it as tightly as you can, then take an iron on the setting for silk (it’s very very low - a 2 on my iron), and gently & quickly iron - this tightens & smooths. When your emulsion is dry & you are ready to print, remove it from the hoop, place on a board that is covered with a black piece of fabric, place stencil on top of your emulsion coated mesh, then place a piece of glass on top. Before you rinse it out, it helps to place it back on the hoop. The nice thing about this method is that you can store your designs nicely & when you want to use one, just place it back on the hoop to print. It works best with very small images. Mine are usually 3inx3in., but I often print 3 on 1 hoop, & use them 1 at a time. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐ Missing stuff *by B***B on 20 March 2023* The box was open, and it didn’t have the photo emulsion sensitizer.

Next I had some trouble spreading the emulsion, but, that was due to my test screen not having near enough tension, and, it was just my first try. After my little mess with the test screen, I coated my production screen, A professionally built and screened aluminum frame. That came out pretty good. You need to be able to fully spread the emulsion and then screed off any excess quickly. I made a nice clear plastic spreading tray but ended up using a 3" plastic bondo spreader with a sharp point to finish spreading and then screeding off excess emulsion. I am making smaller screens though. Spread front of screen, then screed, spread back, then screed. Inspect your screen, spread more, then screed off excess from front side and back side. Press the screed into the screen pretty hard, if you are getting a proper thin coat, you wont get any lines from making multi spreading and screeding passes. I will tell you this, watching youtube videos with pros spreading emulsion with a single front and back pass is pure fantasy. You are probably NOT going to be able to do this with one perfect spreading pass in front and one perfect spreading/screeding pass in back, so don't even worry about it. Be ready to do multiple passes front and back, but be ready to get it done quickly. This process works 100 times better if you got a professionally done and screened frame with the screen stretched super tight. I stretched my first frame myself and found it tough to get high enough screen tension, then I bought a cheap but good aluminum frame with pre-streatched screen and OMG, it was so much more easy and better. Spread and screed off your emulsion quickly, as if you take too long the emulsion starts to thicken up and then it gets very hard to screed off the excess. Thankfully, I found this out on my first test screen so I got right to it and finished quickly on my money screen and it came out PERFECT. Nice even thin coating and when it fully dried it was exactly as needed, no more thickness then the screen itself, and, that is exactly what you want. If you get excess thickness on your coated screen you will have problems with excess paint loading when doing your screen printing. Excess thickness was the problem I had with my first screen, not made with emulsion, but with a sheet of sticky vinyl with letters cut out. It worked OK, but was hard to get a nice prefect thin layer of ink/paint on my products as the vinyl, seemed thin enough but in reality, it was thicker then it should have been and when the screen thickness was added, it was laying down to thick a layer of screen printing ink [paint]. I'm so looking forward to using my screens made with this emulsion, screen printing should work so much better. ~ ## Frequently Bought Together - Speedball Art Products Diazo Photo Emulsion Kit for Screen Printing Frames - Speedball Fabric Screen Printing Ink, 8-Ounce, Blue Denim for T-Shirt and Silkscreen Printmaking --- ## 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/256008436-art-products-diazo-photo-emulsion-kit-for-screen-printing-frames](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/256008436-art-products-diazo-photo-emulsion-kit-for-screen-printing-frames) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-07-21*
