Eric,
First I want to say, thanks to everyone for thier
ideaas advice. I will try the ideas presented when I
get more time in the darkroom. I have a bunch of old
European and American glass negs from 1890's thru
1920's that I'd love to print on the Wynstone Vellum
if possible.
In response to Eric's question: I coated only a small
area of the paper. It was a sheet of about8x10 with
an image area 3.5 x 5 inches. he image area as well
as the borders of the vellum had the alligator
texture.
