Laura,
I like the image but I think the second one (un-oiled paper) needed
far more exposure.
I tried a quick exposure comparison between oiled and un-oiled Epson
PQP, using a 31 step tablet and cyanotype. For my setup I found a
difference of 2.5 stops:
oiled PQP : exposure 8 mins,
un-oiled PQP : exposure time 48 mins
I did not make a complete image as I cannot see any advantage in using
un-oiled paper, the extra (not too messy) step does not, FOR ME,
warrant the extra exposure time needed for each negative, especially
in multy-layer gum.
Greetings,
Guido
