Papers for Kallitype

[Sandy King <sanking@clemson.edu>]

In previous messages I suggested that Fabriano Uno would work well 
with kallitype. I need to amend that statement. Fabriano Uno does 
indeed work well with the vandyke variant of kallitype, but not with 
traditional kallitype that uses ferric oxalate. For reasons I can not 
figure my traditional kallitypes on Fabriano Uno, with sodium citrate 
as the developer, have a very coarse granular look, whereas the tones 
of the same paper with vandyke are creamy smooth.

So my list of recommended papers is down to two for traditional 
kallitype: Arches Aquarelle and Fabriano Artistico. Not that these 
are the only papers that will work with traditional kallitype, just 
the ones with which I have experience.
