Greetings list members.
I am new to this list, so if I am doing something that goes against your
norms - please be gentle with me!
I am wondering if anybody knows the chemical processes involved in the
Vandyke process. Specifically, I am wondering if the dark part of the
image is composed of iron or iron salts.
What I would like to do is to find a process which leaves it's image in
the form of Iron, and to use this to print on a piece of Oak. Oak is
stained black by Iron, and I would therefore be able to use the process
to put an image into the wood, as opposed to leaving an emulsion with
the image on the surface of the wood.
Mark
