Re: VDB



Don,

Is the double  coating sometimes working better because the first coat acidifies the paper (with some papers)?

I don't disagree with Loris or Sandy about toning though I think it should
be noted that toning VDB causes a change in the color of the final print. As
for doubled coating, I prefer double coated prints, toned or untoned and
would suggest that one should perform their own tests to see what works for
them. There are a lot of ways to print VDB and it takes some time to sort
them all out to discover what the variations look like.

I should also mention that additives to the sensitizer can be used to
influenced the final color of the print, toned or untoned.

I think Ware's Agyrotype process is worth exploring too, I keep telling
myself to do that but keep getting side tracked on to other things.
