i hope someone can help me. i print palladium on platinotype, and ive been
getting these horribly annoying tiny red dots on the paper about five
minutes into the final bath. one second the paper is clean, the next second
this little red dot has appeared, and as far as i can tell there is no way
to get it off.
the only red object in my printing process is the ruby lith mask i use, and
the dots seem to correlate with its use. so i put a thin sheet of a resin
coated paper between the ruby lith and the paper. no substantial
difference. this is driving me crazy, cuz everything is going well and the
print looks great and then all of the sudden this little red dot. any
advice woud be appreciated.
