[Alt-photo] Re: Brushing gelatin on paper

[Luciano Teghillo]

Hi Diana,

I already have marked in my todo list for tomorrow a couple of calls to
source some samples of FA EW soft-press and BFK Rives heavyweight (I found
another possible source here in Italy).

Thanks for the all the help.

Best Regards,
Luciano

Hi Luciano,

I tried the Fabriano hot-press and also the traditional white--- but no
others-- except for the Fabriano Artistico EW soft-press (140 lb), and that
really is the only one of those that seems to work so well without
additional sizing in my experience.  I'm not familiar with the Rosapina.
For one-coats, those others worked fine-- it was only with multiple coats
that there was any issue--- except with the soft-press, where there were no
issues at all after many multiple coats.
