I have been printing carbon for several years using homecoated tissues.
While I have not had many problems that I could not figure out, there is
one that I haven't been able to crack and could use some advice. When I
print sky or large areas in the zone 7 to 8 range I get a blotching that
appears to be from the gelatin shrinking as it dries, resulting in an
uneven distribution of pigment. I have tried several different gelatins
but have not eliminated the problem. I am currently using a 150 bloom
Hormel gelatin and sumi ink. Can anyone give me some tips on how to
eliminate this problem.
Tired of blotchy skies.
