10 Step Screen Exposure Guide | Exposure Calculator

Stop guessing exposure times. Burn one test and read the answer. Every emulsion, lamp, and mesh combo exposes differently, and the 10 Step Exposure Guide dials yours in with a single screen. The guide's ten density steps expose at different effective rates, so one wash-out shows you exactly where your time should land.

How to use: Place the guide on your screen and expose normally. After washout, the guide should show solid through step 7 with steps 8 through 10 clear: that's ideal exposure. Under-exposure causes stencil breakdown; over-exposure costs you fine detail. Use multiple guides across one screen to judge how even your light is.

Reach for it when:

• Switching emulsions or bulbs
• Stencils keep breaking down on press
• Fine detail keeps washing away

Specs: Reusable test film. Works with any emulsion and exposure unit.
