Subject: bromoil (once again)
OK, so I'm finally off to a fair start-and with a new onslaught of questions
about the bromoil process:
1-Can the print be overbleached? If so, what are the consequences?
2-With regards to Klaus Pollmeier's statement that he uses a post-final fixing
bath of diluted sulfuric acid to bring out the relief, followed by a wash
consisting of water that must be no colder than the acid-why must the water be
no colder? What happens if it is not? And where (if anywhere) should the
pre-ink drying be placed? Before or after the acid bath/wash?
3-What is going on when in the deepest shadow areas, complete bleaching does not
seem as though it is ever going to occur (like after 19-20 minutes) and it just
turns a sort of brown? Although it may not be bleached fully, is it still going
to be completely tanned and able to pick up ink appropriately?
Thanks in advance,
Jennifer
