Hi all.
After a series of prints with tricolor gum with very good results, now
two things happen: 1. - To spread the emulsion gum, dichromate and
magenta pigment on printing, which contains blue (cyanotype) and gum
yellow pigment, a similar effect occurs when pour or scatter oily water
on a surface, rather than uniformly cover, the emulsion tends to collect
in some places and not to adhere to others. 2. - After exposure to UV
light, the revealed, the emulsion tends to disappear, leaving the
impression with a hideous green.
Data: equal paper and treatment, as cyanotype, like brushes, like UV
unit and time of exposure and processing, as dichromate and
concentration. Similarly gum prepared as above, but in this case drops
put carbolic acid (preservative) and Scmincke watercolor pigment PR122
same dilution 1:10,
What is happening?, Is there gum hardened by the action of carbolic acid?.
Thanks for answering and sorry for my english, translation by computer.
