Besides exposure time, you want to make sure you screen is evenly coated. Depending on how thick the coating is, the exposure time will change. I recommend using a scoop coater. http://www.screen-printing-t-shirts.com/preparing-the-screen Let me know how this comes out. Hi Monica, check out my article here:

I am trying to screen print again after doing it for fun 24 yrs ago. I bought new emulsion, poly fabric & 250 w floodbulb BBA. Did several trials & the suggested 12" above w/ lamp for 15 mins. Only a small little section came out. my transpariencies are very dark & new. The part of the screen that did not wash out look still a brown yellow, so not sure if underexposed or cooked brown??? No one in this town no anything about screening printing. called Speedball, they said raise lamp to 15" for 15 mins. still no help. I've tryed a sample timing beginning from 4 mins to 15 mins, still parts sporically on the whole screen don't wash out. I don't know what else to troubleshot.
