Re: Marker Paper (Correction)
This whole big tray discussion is making me think of a topic that's been on
my mind for awhile now - big art.
How do people feel about being one (for the most part) of the smallest - in
size that is - art form. Everthing seems
so big today. I recently entered a juried show with a 7"x7" matted,
platinum print and didn't get in. That's fine, but
when I went to the show, everything was huge. I don't think that there was
much smaller than 16x20 and my print would
have looked really out of place there.
One of the reasons I learned how to make digital negatives is to make large
platinum prints or I may not be making
them at all - too difficult and too time consuming without the digital
portion - in grad school you're expected to
produce, produce, produce, but I guess that's a good mode to be in for real
life ;-)
Art has gotten bigger and bigger the the past couple of decades. When will
it end?

I've tried to print on the Bienfang up to 11x14. Larger than that, I have
problems. Can you tell me more about how you process it in one tray?

This paper works great. I make platinum prints on it up to the 19x24"
pieces.
It did take some getting used to , but it washes easily in a 20x24 print
washer
and does dry flat if put into a cold press slightly damp and then put into
a
heat press after. It will take on a slight texture later controllable by
dry
mounting.
If you fan your fingers under it as you lift it, you can move it quite
easily.
I would recommend a one tray processing if possible.
