I used to be Antiseen here, but I couldn't for the life of me log back in for some reason - so I just signed up again using a stuffed animal sitting in the corner of my room as an alias :P

anyways, I was just curious what you guys use for your exposure units - I started out with a 1000 WATT Halogen (pure GARBAGE) - switched to the SUN (amazingly fast exposures, even late evening would be well under a minute using photopolymer emulsions) - however, due to the fact that I like to work at night more than in the day, yesterday I bought a 400 Watt Metal Halide bulb and ballast. Did a test exposure tonight and got a damn good burn in a min. and a half (on 110 count white mesh).

Anyways, I was wondering what other screenprinters use to expose their screens. I have always heard that the flourescent tube light units are bad for "undercutting"???
