(More customer reviews)I got my Yudu here on Amazon. But the cost of the emulsion sheets were way to expensive for me. I admit I never used the sheets included in the Yudu kit (still have them). Instead I purchased this kit from DIY (at their website not through Amazon).
I learned how to coat the screen and it was very easy to do. I am not a screen printer or "crafty," (I am working on my masters in Software Engineering). Yet, I found the screen coating really fun. Some days after studying, I'll coat my Yudu screens before I go off to bed. The next day I have screens ready to use.
This holiday I made three color shirts as gifts. So this kit really helped when I screwed up one of the screens. The liquid emulsion allows me to prep a screen really fast and wash out a mistake. It is better than the sheets in that the cost per screen is more like 50 cents. As I now own 7 Yudu screens, I can coat a screen in under a minute. I do not have to worry about air-bubbles and such.
There is a Yudu forum, and you will find that most people who are using the Yudu are using liquid emulsion.
It did take a screen or two before I got the hang of it. But with the cost per screen so low, it was OK. Anyone can afford to a few screw-ups. The DVD hos lots of good info. The scoop coater is professional and the remover will last over 50 screens.
Lastly, I world recommend the Matsui water based inks for Yudu'ers. They work great with this emulsion and the Yudu.

--Dry the screen in the Yudu screen rack, if you like.
--The emulsion uses the very same emulsion remover too, and the kit includes enough concentrate to mix a whole gallon of emulsion remover. (If you bought the Yudu emulsion remover for $7.99 [3oz bottles], that's a savings of over $300 alone!)
