Hi Yves,
If you would look after the archives you would find a lot of discussion
concerning paper-negatives.
The ones before the digital revolution:
On thin FB-paper (like the Kentmere DocArt): this one could be waxed by
ironing with parafin;
or made transparent by applying sunfloweroil. According to Peter
Fredericks the sunfloweroil was the best of oils to use.
There were even 'how-to-do' for using RC-paper , by separating the
front from the back, leaving more or less a transparent neg.; I never
succeeded to do this.
The digitals made on inkjet printer I prefer the Simili Japon 140 grs
and sunfloweroil for transparence.
Just the supermarket on the corner I ask for 50x75 cm prints for 8
USDollar on (Fuji?) color paper. This paper is without a printed logo
on the backside.
Apart from 'normal' negs on Arista lith film I use the different negs
for gum and oil-printing.
For cyanotypes only the lith-negs.
Exposure times for my equipment: the waxed negs about 2 times the
lith-film-negs.
The 'around-the-corner-color-negs' about 10 times the ltith-film-neg.
Cheers,
Henk
