Description
If you want to ensure that your screen is properly exposed, you’ll want to have a 21-Step Exposure Guide on hand. In a single exposure, you’ll learn whether a stencil is over-or under-exposed and how to adjust the exposure time for a durable stencil. Measuring only 1/2" x 3 3/4", it will fit on the screen without interfering with other graphics.
Many factors can change exposure times — mesh color, different types of emulsions, mesh count, new exposure unit, emulsion layer thickness, level of detail, etc. The BASELAYR 21-Step Emulsion Exposure Guide is a small, handy tool that’s good to have on hand for any new screen creation.
FEATURES
- A simple guide to note whether a screen is over-or under-exposed
- A guide that outlines how to adjust exposure times based on the initial results
- Small size so it doesn’t interfere with the design
DIRECTIONS
- Place the 21-Step Exposure Guide on the screen, away from the design.
- Expose the screen.
- After exposure, soak the screen in a dunk tank or gently rinse it with a hose and let the water soak in.
- Grab a pressure washer and rinse out the screen and the guide. If you can rinse to a solid step seven, then the screen has been properly exposed.
- If you cannot rinse out the guide to the seventh mark, the screen is over-exposed. Over-exposed screens may not reveal all the details in the design.
- If you rinse out the guide past the seventh mark, the screen is under-exposed. Screens that are under-exposed lose details from the design.
- If you are over-or under-exposed, please refer to the table below to learn how to adjust the exposure times.

United StatesPerfect for dialing in new equipment
The exposure calculator works perfectly, and was crucial to dialing in my screen burning process, especially because I recently switched to a new emulsion (the Baselayr Plastisol Emulsion) and built a new DIY exposure unit. The readings are very accurate and the exposure adjustment calculations will perfect exposure time down to the second.

Hey Casey -super stoked to hear you're utilizing this dark room tool! Takes some of the guess work out for sure. Happy Printing!
United StatesStop what you are doing and buy 1 of these.
What a great little piece of printed plastic . My exposures were so off that I now realized why some of my designs were loosing details. This is a great tool. I go a bit beyond an tape a pice of my film (without any print) to cover half of the strip , you can see how much your film also impacts your exposure. Also, I gang a couple of test in the same screen to use different exposure times.
