A hello from (a long time inactive) alt-process printer from Istanbul. :)

Great news Mike, thank you very much for your efforts and sharing your work. Best regards, alt-photo-process-list@...> wrote:

My protocol was coating the paper and waiting 15-30 minutes before exposure (no hair dryer or fan, wait time depending on paper and humidity of my studio), and I was always using a 2 mil mylar sheet b

Hi Bob. High humidity in the paper will give you shorter exposure times and higher dmax. (And colder tint.)

Hi John, looks like you're experiencing bronzing / solarization due to overexposure. Probably some dark reaction occurs between the first and second halves of the exposure, therefore you experience ov

Hi Serdar, how about ordinary household bleach?

It's the other way around, maybe your memory is playing a game to you? Ware's formula shelf life can be extended to something around 1 year with the addition of dichromate. Just mix enough volume for

Let me do it for you Keith; 1) Increasing the exposure means multiplication with the factor, 2) Decreasing the exposure means division by the factor, 3) For 1 stop the factor is 2^1 (^ being the expon

Ditto, just calibrate for plain formula, then you will just have to fiddle with the exposure time when you change the chemistry. Since it's a pop process you already check the progresss of the exposur

Very sad news indeed. May her soul rest in peace. It's a great loss, she will be missed a lot. 😞 <alt-photo-process-list@...> wrote:

Never add water into acid!!! That's rule #1 when working with acids. You may add 600ml water into a 1000-1500ml beaker, then add citric acid constantly stirring and then add more water to make 1000ml.

Using distilled water for washing dealkalized paper or clearing is overkill; you can use soft potable (drinking) water, or better invest on a small reverse osmosis home water purification appliance. I

For B&S and similar *alt-photo oriented establishments*, the best practice would be to test the paper batches with target processes beforehand and only bulk order the batches that work OK. This wouldn

I liked the idea a lot too. Salt from Lake Tuz, very nice! :)

Thanks much for the trouble Christina, it was a pleasure to read the article. (I laughed alot in at some places...) Regards, 2016-03-28 16:37 GMT+03:00 Christina Z. Anderson via Alt-photo-process-list

Hi Jason, IME a year (even 1/2 year) is too much. I never kept vandyke solutions more than 3 months. Try the citric acid trick. It is possible to dilute the toning solution and/or cut the toning time
