The advantage of Faust and Charbonnel was the fact that they offer tubes (ink drying out in cans is a problem).Hi Henk, great oilprint! what inks do you use? To stiff the ink i add pure pigment, by-effect is the possibility of changing color . do you use plain gelatin whithout any hardener when coating your oilpaper?There is a recipe from the 'old days' of the list from Klaus Pollmeier: -prepare 140 ml of a 15% gelatin solution; -add 14 ml of a 15% potato starch solution; - while stirring, slowly add 14 ml of a hardener , made by mixing 6 ml of a 6% sol. of acetic acid and 8 ml of a 1% sol. of chrom. alum. From the text ' .... the hardener really helps to avoid blistering and having the gel. detach from the paper base....' I tried that one, but found no difference to my method: just 3 times a gelatine layer of about 8% gelatine, with a 6 % potassium dichromate.
