Hi:
Crawford says bromoil is harder than oil. Bromoil uses a bleached B&W
print as the starting point (the matrix), oil uses a gelatin coated paper,
sensitized with a dichromate for the matrix.
Crawford says bleaching a print in bromoil is much harder than preparing
the gelatin coated oil matrix.
Bromoil does away with the need to make enlarged negatives and doesn't
need a UV printer, but I've got plenty of large negatives and a UV
printer, so I'll try oil.
Looked at Ed's site - confirms that making an oil matrix is easier than an
bromoil matrix. Ed uses fixed b&W paper as the gelatin coated paper.
I'll try that first.
