Doing pt/pd here in the desert southwest, one is challenged to coat and print
paper that's moist enough for the purpose. I've had mixed success w/ the
Walgreen's sonic mister -- not bad but not great. Hard to be consistent
because really hard to measure what you're accomplishing with the mister. I
stay with a certain distance from the paper (~8") and a certain duration
(~1'), but I'm pretty sure that ambient humidity, temperature and, maybe most
important, paper type vary the effect (Platine suddenly feels "heavy" after
40-50 seconds in front of the mist, but I haven't noticed that with Lenox).
On a typically dry-as-a-bone winter day here in Albuquerque, I'm think the
paper dries significantly in the 10 seconds or so between misting and
coating.... So, any ideas about creating or maintaining paper moisture in dry
climes? -jeff buckels
