Re: Tacky attraction< (was Solarplate images...website)



Hi Keith,

Are you using the KM73 plates and Pictorico OHP? These are the things that, in conjunction, cause the patches we're trying to solve. In my case, and I guess Susan's, higher pressure just turns the patches aberration to more focused dots.

Thanks,
Jon

Susan,

That's the same as my vacuum frame, 22 in Hg, and I also found the higher pressure to be best.

Jon,

My vacuum is at about 22 inches mercury. I can adjust that with my
bleeder valve, and did that yesterday to see what difference it made
(remembering your prior comments about this). The spots were clearly
evident, and larger (meaning the film was farther from the plate),
with less drawdown. I tried it at 5, then 10 and 15, etc... the
higher the number the smaller the spots.
