Re: Tacky attraction
Jon, Give this a try??? Take a piece of OHP fresh out of the box and do a draw down on a neew plate aired or not, see what that does. Then take a piece on OHP and run it though your printer no need to print on it. Also try moving the printed on OHP around on the plate to see if the air spots a re in the same place on the film ????? And finally and old art school trick a can of cheap hair spray, YES JON hair spray my do the trick ???not sure if it will make the ink/pigment run????? Jan Pietrzak I am so glad that you remember all the things I told you, I sure can't From: Jon Lybrook <jon@terabear.com> Date: 2007/02/27 Tue PM 12:29:29 CST To: alt-photo-process-l@usask.ca Subject: Tacky attraction Hey all, I tried putting a KM73 plate I had sitting out all night with the mylar removed into my vacuum frame with a fresh, clean piece of OHP. It didn't affect the air patches, which were apparent in under a minute, as usual. Attempting to press them out (through the Krene plastic I'm using instead of glass) with a brayer after drying out both the plate and the transparency with a hairdryer for a few minutes didn't have any affect either. I'm anticipating Susan's idea about treating the transparency with a spray coating of something prior to exposing it helps this tackiness problem. I'm also hopeful it doesn't introduce any new problems (besides the health risks of aerosol glues and paints)! Looking forward to hearing about her results and trying it out myself soon. Thanks, Jon
