Emulsion Supplier UK

[Marc123]

Hi all,
I'm looking to change my emulsion supplier as the batch I have requires coating on both sides of the screen and I'm aware this isn't always necessary with certain products. I find it cumbersome and it seems to increase the possiblity of errors occuring.
Can anyone suggest an emulsion product and supplier they're happy with that only needs coating one side? And also a waterbased ink product and supplier...
I find that it's always best to get reccomendations. I print graphic art on paper.
Thanks all for any suggestions.

I use Speedball emulsion as it has a long shelf life (if stored in a refrigerator) and is strong but easy to clean off. BUT I also recommend always coating both sides, sometimes double coating the front (the front being where you put the ink when you print). The reason for this is that it creates a stronger stencil, and if you do it front-back-front and store it back side down, the stencil will rise a little making it sharper when you print.
My 2 pence!

Thanks mate, I've read loads about speedball products, I'll give it a go when this lot runs out.
