Next, the sheet needs to dry in the box so they aren't exposed to light.
Then, copy the image from the transparent sheet onto the emulsion sheet with the U.V. bulb.

Exposure
The U.V. bulb used for exposing the screen is stored under the removable platen. Elastic bands use hooks to hold the bulb in place. The cord is then wrapped around small cleats.

To elevate the bulb, the platen is wedged in between the top crossbar and the platen supports, keeping it upright. Next, the bulb is plugged in and turned on for 11 minutes.

Additional Features
Edge-Lock
This protruding rail butts up against the edge of the work surface to lock it in place. This stability keeps it from sliding during printing and promotes better ergonomics by pushing the squeegee away from the body.
Color-Coding
You don't wanna get these guys mixed up. One is for cleaning ink out of the screen, the other is for stripping the emulsion off. The sponges and the bottles are color-coded to avoid cross-contamination.
