- PhotoEZ
is
a light-sensitive emulsion applied to a fine mesh nylon screen for the
purpose of making screen stencils. By exposing the emulsion covered
screen to daylight or fluorescent light, the emulsion changes into a
tough coating. When a black and white image printed on clear acetate or
20-pound paper is placed over the screen and exposed to daylight, the
emulsion under the black areas remains water soluble and washes off
creating an open mesh for paint to pass through.
