Last spring I bought Fotokemika Efke bromoil paper. Real
plastic bromoil paper !!
For me this paper was unable too use too make a good bromoil print,but
I got some very delicate result with Kentmere Doc Art, and this summer I had
a little Bromoil exhibition (20 pictures) near Oslo.

The last photo magazine from Norway (Fotografi) showes a picture from this
exhibition.
By the way I have found a way to use the Efke paper. I use the plastic paper
for transfer, like Polatransfer.
The result is very,very delicate pictures.

I make a ordinary copy (not too dark) and take this whith the emulusjon down
to a artist paper, then I hold it over a bottle of warm water and press with
a roller in about ca 15 minutes,then the gelatine and the silver will be
transfered to the artist paper.

Next month the Fotokemika will begin too produce a new bromoil paper
with baryt base.
