RE: haunted VDB
You actually need to change both clearing baths and first rinse water to get rid of all unreacted silver and iron salts, no? BTW, I reuse fixer unlike Sam because I mix it in 1000ml batches (weighting 20g is easier, especially so with kitchen measuring spoons as I do). That's almost 8-9x the volume what Sam uses per print. So, if you use little fixer like Sam does it's indeed a good advice to use fresh for each print. -----Original Message----- From: Joao Ribeiro Globo [mailto:ribeiro.joao@globo.com] Sent: Wednesday, September 30, 2009 5:09 PM To: alt-photo-process-l@usask.ca Subject: Re: haunted VDB Ah! I "develop" in plain water for 5 minutes and fix. I don't change the water during development. Should I?
