realUV LED strip lights for screen printing

I’m making my own DIY exposure unit using your LED strip lights to cure the emulsion on my screens for printing onto clothing material. 395 nm seems to be the most recommended for this application, but I'm wondering if your 365 nm version would be a better alternative?

At this time, we, unfortunately, do not have any definitive answers as to whether 365 nm or 395 nm is the more effective wavelength option for screen printing applications. Our customers have actually reported success with both wavelengths, but we aren't able to say with confidence whether one works better than the other.

Variations in emulsion materials between manufacturers and products can result in different sensitivities to different wavelengths. We do hope to conduct some tests internally for specific products in the near future, as we do indeed have numerous customers who are also interested in using our products for this application.

Our suggestion would be to perhaps consider the 395 nm first as it is at a lower price point. On the other hand, the 365 nm is generally a wavelength that is better suited for chemical curing processes, so that can also be a potential option for you to consider as well.

Finally, for assembly, this illustration below may be helpful in showing you how the sections can be joined together:
