Subject: Need help #2

In my first message I did not explain what I needed help on. We are having 
problems with the photo resist. I have set all of the settings as directed  in 
the Photoshop program. Printed it onto velumn with our lasar printer. Developed 
the 2 mil resist for 35 seconds in the developer. Washed it out and we still do 
not have the correct results. 

This is a plea for assistance the destroyed photo resist is getting quite 
expensive and nothing to show for it.

Some laser printers do not lay down a dark enough layer of toner to stop all
of the light reaching the film.  If this happens, the areas that you need to
wash out will actually be partially exposed and will remain.

TRry printing out on another type of laser printer and see if this fixes the
problem.  Also some software will actually let you increase the level of toner
at the printer, and as a last resort check your toner cartridge, it may be
running out!

Donna,
Have you had any previous success with the resist?
Try the following:
Print your artwork on regular white paper. 
Take your white paper and two pieces of vellum to Kinko's, or some good 
printer.
They can print on the vellum. The reason for two pieces, sometimes the paper 
can have a problem feeding. Also they will be unsure about doing it. If they 
know you have a spare piece I think it makes them feel better.
Next, use 3mil resist, and set the timer for 35 seconds.
Wash out with warm water, not cold. Blot ever so gently, then use little 
clips and hang to dry. Let dry for at least 20 minutes.
Good luck. Hope this helps.
Also on your artwork, make sure your lines are wide enough and clear.
Let me know if it  works!
