RE: Help! Pt/Pd probs
Note that exposure times will change with humid paper... -----Original Message----- From: Loris Medici [mailto:mail@loris.medici.name] Sent: Tuesday, July 07, 2009 9:57 AM To: alt-photo-process-l@usask.ca Subject: RE: Help! Pt/Pd probs Don't use a hairdryer and print as soon as your paper is not shiny anymore. (Approx. 5 to 10 mins. depending on the environment.) But you definitely need to sandwich the paper between impermeable and transparent (also to UV) media. Exposing humid paper, may give you have slightly better dmax and more open shadows too... (Depending to the conditions.) BTW, 5/8" between the lamps (lamp diameter 38mm/1.5") and lamps 3" above the frame glass won't give you light banding. This is my setup and it's very even. Compare your specs to mines to see if there's significant deviation...
