Image transference; was - archival ness of gum
Dear Group, Here is a little anecdote I will share with you though I'm not sure it falls in line with the same mechanism observed in the image transfer of platinum prints. Once upon a time I routinely used yellow Post-It notes to identify sheets of exposed film while I was on lengthy trips. After returning from one such trip I was surprised to see the out line of the Post-It note in the middle of an exposed sheet of 8x10 Tri-X after processing. I was pretty blasé about the use of the Post-It notes and I always put the note on the base side of the film. Apparently the Post-It note image was transferred to the sheet beneath it on the emulsion side. After that experience I quit the Post-It note practice. Just some more food for thought. Merry Christmas, Don Bryant
