Seems like good timing to me, I just bought a 2100 last week. Have already
been experimenting with VDB, using a modified version of a curve provided by
Sam Wong. Results are pretty good.
What are the characteristics of the Photo Gallery Hi-Gloss White Film that
make it more suited to Silver gelatin? Might it also be more suited to, say,
cyanotype than the OHP material? My cyanotype curve for the OHP material
(1270 dye inks) was very flat, giving poor tonal separation and prone to
posterisation in the highlights.
