Hi all...
I continue to work on argyrotypes here as I dip my
toe in the alt waters...
Today I tried Lenox 100 paper, as I have read that
it's quite amenable to the process, but alas the prints I made looked great in
the wash but dried with a chalky haze look, especially noticeable in the darkest
areas. Really bad...
The prints I made on Bienfang 360, the
lightweight translucent marker paper, look fantastic.
So, it's not my solution or my coating technique,
so I was wondering if anyone could offer advice? Dick Arentz has a little
section in his pt/pd book about chalky and anemic prints, so I've been looking
at that, too, trying to glean what may apply to the argy process as
well.
Maybe I shouldn't waste time on papers that don't
perform, but being a beginner I want to make sure that all the variables
have been accounted for before I blame the material.
Thanks!
Paul
