Thanks Loris... Very interesting... Can you give a general idea of how
long your exposures are? As I recall, in the old books, where potassium
dichromate was the norm, it was generally used at 5% (apparently why they
could keep coated paper for weeks before exposing).

Of coure, nowadays -- at least around here -- bigger & faster are better
(or is that just cars?). In any event, can you say what started you in
that direction? Also, maybe you said & I missed that, too -- is this for
tricolor?

Hi Judy, it's ammonium dichromate. (Was shortened as "AD" below...)

I always had better results (due my particular working style and/or
materials?) with weak sensitizers; I use only two dichromate strenghts
5%
and 2%. (AD, 1+1 gum/pigment+dichromate.) I also have 10% on hands for
unusual situations though.
Which dichromate is that, Loris -- potassium or ammonium ??????
