Similarly, you may ask, how long do you expose a screen?

This is nothing more than exposing the screen on the unit for 10 to 15 minutes or setting it in the sun for 5 minutes, why? During your initial exposure your only trying to burn the image on a screen and maintain detail, post-hardening will ensure a strong, long lasting screen.

Likewise, how long to expose a screen in the sun? Here is how I gauge the exposure: the emulsion is a slime green color and as it exposes it begins to turn to a dark gray/green. Once you see it darken considerably it has been exposed.it should only take 2-3 minutes depending on how strong the sun it. If it is overcast it may take a few more minutes.

Beside above, what happens if you overexpose a screen?

An overexposed screen won't allow for enough ink through your screen while printing— resulting in prints with poor detail. An underexposed screen means you've lost too much emulsion and you'll be throwing too much ink.
