Ah-ha dear lady.
You have surfaced in mid atlantic I see. Last
Wednesday you named a publication on alternative processes which I believe
is called "Spirits of salts" - is that the correct title? otherwise perhaps you
would be kind enough to 'put me straight' as they say in the trade.

Subject: Re: what paper negatives ?
For what it is worth, I used to use paper
negatives with Tetenal Spectra Jet Duoprint 130 gm for a long time.I oiled the
paper with what is called liquid paraffin here in the U.K. This is the
same oil used in the traditional photo-etching process and is a mineral oil
compound. i stopped using it when OHP type films became available at a
reasonable cost here, because there was a tendency for the
negative to dry out when used with a multi coat process like Temperprint.

Sorry , here is the correct link :
www.luminous-lint.com
There
is a lot of 'alt' : the (brom)oil exhibition is the second one in the list,
after 'Stereo Daguerreotypes'.
To jump to my samples directly:

Don and Henk,
I could not access your respective
sites.
However, <www.thijs-foto.com> is accessible.
Details of
the paper you used would be helpful.
The paper for the
oilprints is Fabriano no 5 , the 350 grs one; the paper for the negative
:
Simili Japon 130 grs , for the formats up to 30x 50 cm on my Epson 1290
with (Ebony) black only printing.
Larger oilprints : negatives printed on
the 'poster-printer-on-the-corner' , the 50x75 cm about 9 Euro (~10
USDolllar) ; they told me it is Fuji-color-paper. No 'logo' printed on the
backside like Kodak or Agfa paper, that is the reason why.
No waxing
possible, print-times about 5 times compared to transparent negs. No curves,
just by experience
:-)
Cheers,
Henk
