[alt-photo] Re: printing on silk

[C.Breukel at lumc.nl]

Kerik,

Cotton it is:

Silk has been found to not work with this process.  The acids drive the ferric and metal salts into the fibers where they remain to stain and deter the image.  Further research may discover a way to clear these prints.

Best,

Cor
