Hi Sil,
I suppose that applies to Vandyke as well?
Would you comment on the printing out differences between these
silver nitrate processes? With some, gold toning adds some depth to
the printed out image, whereas in vandyke, which has much less of a
printed out image, the gold seems to prevent the image from coming
into contact with hypo, and consequently makes a lighter image. Any
way to avoid that?
Thanks!
Sam Wang
