[Alt-photo] Re: Papers for Palladium

[BOB KISS]

DEAR CATHERINE,

            Reading your e-mail below I didn't notice any mention of
rehumidifying your paper after coating and drying it.  Whenever I have had
lower than normal Dmax it has invariable been because I did not rehumidify
my paper right before exposure.

                        CHEERS!

                                    BOB

Thanks to all of you for contributing to this thread!
My results have been very inconsistent. I received a brand new UV printer
last summer and it has a built-in vacuum  frame. I have kept the humidity at
around 60% and my drop count on a sheet of 81/2 X 11 has been 12, 12, 1 (
palladium, ferric oxalate, and NA2) On a sheet of 11 X 14 I have used 24,
24, 2. I am coating with a Richeson brush and my time is about 6 minutes. I
have never gotten a dmax greater then 1.30...maybe a few times it has been a
bit higher. My developer is Potassium Oxalate and then I was washing in
Citric acid with EDTA added.
In August I worked with Jon Cone's PDZN system.
I have not done any work since August but want to get started again.
I have posted on my Flicker page two items. One has 5 -21 step grayscale
linearizations that correspond to 5 of Jon's curves and the other item is
the same photo printed with 4 different curves from Jon Cone. Maybe you can
tell something from looking at them.
I will appreciate any comments and suggestions.

Thanks so much,
