EZ FILM 30 | 30-Micron Textile Capillary Direct Film, Priced as a Viable Alternative to Direct Emulsion; Fast Drying, Fast Exposing Pure Photopolymer (SBQ)

EZ FILM 30 is ideal for standard textile printing using conventional, non-aqueous garment printing inks. It is priced to be an economical alternative to direct emulsion in material cost and because it offers significant savings in labor and production time. EZ FILM 30 is ideal for mesh counts ranging from 230 - 419 threads /inch (90 and 165/cm.). It is pink in color and coated on 300-gauge matte-surface polyester. EZ FILM 30 produces superb stencils quickly, consistently, and with no mess or waste. At a controlled-coating thickness, EZ FILM 30’s exposure time and ink deposit (with the same mesh count) is always constant. It adheres perfectly, dries faster than direct emulsion, and exposes very quickly. EZ FILM 30 can be adhered with plain water or with QTX® direct emulsion. EZ FILM 30 is sold in convenient prepackaged sheets.
