Re: Paper negatives- Ink Selection

Keith,
Have you tried mixing your cyano 2A:1B to cut down one stop?

I don't think the 15 min is out of line since I use Pictorico with gum and a 
6 minute exposure.

Why aren't you using full strength am di? Or 15% perhaps, instead of pot di 
to decrease your times, too?
