Hi Klaus,

Thanks for your help. I will definitely try using fixed out bromide paper for
my next attempt.

>> Although you should master the basic process first, here a hint on how to
work
on any paper: Develop your print on very clean plexiglas and let the relief
dry.

Your description on developing on plexiglass sounds very interesting and
sounds like it would be good for multi-color printing. Does one have to
prepare the plexiglass in a special way? Or the glass will naturally take the
transfer?

I am also wondering if developing separate C, M, and Y layers on 3 pieces of
plexiglass and then transferring one-by-one to the final paper will work?

<<Overall, I am very very excited and happy about this watercolor-look print
on
watercolor paper!>

>> That sounds strange. It should look like a 'perfect' print on watercolor
paper,
image quality like a perfect silver bromide.

Well, actually my print did look like a bromide print (except for the muddy
highlights as described in my previous post), when I said "watercolor-look
print", I was trying to describe the distinct look/feel of the pigment print,
and I like that effect very much.

Thanks again for your help and suggestion!

Dave
