Deep Yellow-Amber Safelight Filter
Details
Deep Amber-Yellow Safelight Filter Sleeve 48"
Make your screen processing area "light safe" while handling light sensitive products. These are a deep amber-yellow color which will filter out or block much of light in the 475nm-525nm range. The work area stays brightly lit and will not create 'color blindness' to workers using the area for extended periods of time.
Many shops do not practice safe handling of light sensitive emulsions and films. As a matter of fact, we get many customers that blame other issues when their screens don't develope correctly. It's sometimes a result of too much UV-rich 'white light' shop or area lighting. Unfiltered lighting will prematurly expose screens and diminish shelf life of mixed emulsions that are exposed.
If it is not a dedicated screen room, we recommend "two" sets of lighting. One set standard white lighting and one set 'safe' lighting. Operated by separate switches, workers can select the lighting condition needed.
