Hi judy and all
how long do you give for VD first rinse? I made a comparison once between no
rinse and two minutes rinse, and the difference in the contrast of my prints
after put thru the S.Thiosulfite was HUGE. I hadn't understood till then how
flat the residues would keep the prints if not rinsed first.
About the process below, how long is too long for the print in the sun. Does
the printing out after bleaching stop at some point???
