3 MIL is for fine detailed artwork and halftone photos. A light surface etch is recommended when using 3 MIL material for some of the following surfaces; (but is not limited to) crystal, glass, hard metals, acrylics and plastics. 

4 MIL is appropriate for moderately detailed artwork and lettering. A moderate to deep engraving is recommended when using 4 MIL photoresist. This material provides the best of both worlds and can be used on any surface. 

5 MIL is for bolder lettering and artwork. Moderate to deep stage carving is recommended when using 5 MIL photoresist; works best with wine bottles and any hard surface.



• Front Blast – Positives or negatives should be right-reading emulsion (toner or ink) side up for front blasting.
 

• Back Blast – Positives or negatives should be right-reading emulsion (toner or ink) side down for back blasting. REMEMBER: Black = Blast NOTE: Invert image in graphics program before printing.




IMAGE TRANSFER

Work under florescent lights for 1 - 3 minutes or no time limit under UV safe yellow/red lights. SR3000â„¢ film is a light sensitive product. For optimum results film should be handled in safe lighting conditions. 




1. Place the SR3000â„¢ glossy side down on the black blanket. The dull side of the SR3000â„¢ will face up.

2. Place the emulsion (toner or ink side) of the artwork against the dull side of the SR3000â„¢. The emulsion side of the SR3000â„¢ film has a duller appearance compared to the carrier side.
3. A vacuum frame or compression frame (such as a Letralite Blanket) should be used to ensure firm contact between the artwork and the film during exposure.

4. Be sure to have a non-reflective black blanket opposite your UV light source to avoid possible reflection causing overexposure.

 

5. Expose using the suggested exposure times listed.




WASHOUT

 

1. Position the exposed SR3000™ in an upright vertical position with the emulsion (matte / dull) side facing outward, use a ¼” of the magnet to attach the film to the white washout metal board in a sink (washout area must be free of UV Light, such as sunlight).

2. Washout SR3000â„¢ with water up to 130°F. The warmer the water, the faster the washout. SR3000â„¢ can be processed using the Rayzist Hand Sprayer, which uses a brass fan spray nozzle producing 60 - 90psi. 


3. To use the Rayzist Hand Sprayer, spray 2” to 4” (max) away from exposed film in a slow, up and down even stroke until the image area develops clear. Do not focus on one particular area of the image, wash in strokes to ensure an even wash.
