Hello,

I try to make daguerreotypes as copies from BL&W positives in a contact
easel.

Problems are coming up after the first try-outs :

    - NEWTON RINGS ARE NASTY ...
    - DENSITY SPOTS ARE COMING UP IN THE IMAGE : uneven JODIUM DAMPING or
marking of NEWTON RINGS ?
    - PROBLEMS WITH MY LIGTHNING SOURCE ( an old Philips UV lamp typ
57265F128) : does it have a warming up time ?
    - DRYING OF THE PLATES AT THE END ...
    - THE CONTRAST OF MY IMAGES IS RATHER LOW.
    - HOW CAN YOU MAKE A CONTROL TO BE SURE THAT AFTER POLISHING THE
SILVERPLATE ... there is no polish
      or fat on the plate anymore ?
