Re: bromoil boot camp

Hi Henk,
David did mention oil printing, but only in passing.  We were so busy with 
bromoil and bromoil transfer we didn't get to much else, in fact, I never 
even did a transfer because I wasn't interested!  Solarplate does a better 
intaglio in my opinion.

I made negatives on Kirkland, then contact printed those onto enlarging 
paper in the darkroom, then from those prints I made my matrices the next 
day, then inked up that night.

He did say that oilprinting was like 3 coats of gelatin, sensitized with a 
3% dichromate, then printed under the neg, but that is all I remember.
