I've been doing Van Dyke for quite some time (well, on and off), and have come
across a real problem. I am getting some sort of pitting in my images, and I
can't seem to track down the source of the problem. An example of a test strip
showing this can be found at
http://mywebpages.comcast.net/hmpi/Temp/Pitting.jpg.
I am using the standard chemical (the first formula found in Judy's
publication, volume 1), so there's nothing weird there. I apply with a foan
brush. I am developing with water for about 3-4 minutes, fixing with a 5%
sodium thiosulfate solution for about 3 minutes, then washing (I've tried using
and not using PermaWash, without any difference). I am using Arches Aquarelle,
which in the past has worked just fine.
As far as I know, there has been no change in the water.
Does this problem look familiar to anyone? I haven't had this problem in the
past and it first started happening about two months ago. I put everything
down, as I didn't have time to do any alt process, but returning I am seeing
the same problem.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers -
george
