hello all

Cor Breukel<
>( a ps: when I put the print face down in the clearing bath, small
airbubbles start to form quickly on the back of the paper, and leave
rapidly, could not detect them when turning the print around, probably
they got released by the turning. Any idea why this is happening?

<<<< thats normal all some paper react like that when the water is a little
hot. Is your water hot?)

 "The coating of this emulsion was much less smooth then
without the Tween, but it give a slight but clear better/darker Dmax but
only on the shortest dried test strip."

<<<<<<try to put a drop of only 1% twenn. because gold make the solution
more fluid and don't need as much tween as a lipd zia print.

. "The grain only appeared in some parts of the sky, hardly
noticeable and not at all distracting."

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<do you humidify your paper before coating , it could help to
avoid the graininess.

Worth pursuing further!

like to hear more

thanks
regards
nze christian
