If you want to calculate precisely the exposure time needed for your setup, you will need to use an exposure calculator.
Here's how you can use it:
Start by deciding the time interval you want to test (in seconds). For our exposure setup, we usually go for 30-second intervals.
Print the exposure calculator on a transparent sheet and set up your exposure unit. Your film master needs to be flat on the mesh of your screen, secured with transparent tape or Plexiglass.
Prepare a thick paper or cardboard that can block the light.
Block all but the last section of the calculator, and turn the light on.
After your chosen time interval, slide the cardboard to expose the second-to-last section. This will expose your second-to-last section for the time interval selected, and the last section for twice the time interval.
Repeat this process until all sections have been exposed. If you have 10 sections of 30 seconds, your last section will have been exposed for 300 seconds.
Turn the light off.
Develop your screen with water the same way you would to prepare a screen.
Make a test print on your target material to determine the optimal exposure time for your setup.

When you no longer need to print an image that is already on a screen, you can reclaim the image to get a brand new one.
