RE: 1st temperaprint

Ditto. Every coat should be exposed and developed individually. Not "a
la Berger"... :) Probably the lowermost layer didn't harden enough,
causing separation of the upper layers from the substrate.

I use a second foam roller (same brand/model I use for coating) to
develop the layer. For me, it works without harming the image layer. I
just roll it over the paper (under water) very mildly pushing it against
the substrate.

Loris.

Gord,

You might want to try just one coat. It has been a while since I did my
temperaprint, but I think the multi-coating refers to coating after each
one is processed.

Also, when you process it, unless the instruction has changed, you
should not use a roller. You use a paint pad (the kind that has
thousands of short hair), and you massage the print gently under water.
It worked for me the first time I tried it.

It could be underexposure too, but you can try a step tablet and overly
exposed it.

BTW, I replied earlier but used the address with sask in it, but the
email bounced.

Hi:

Tried a temperaprint last night. blended an egg, added ammonium
dichromate (ratio 2 parts egg to 1 part AdC) added some water color
pigment.

coated yupo - did 3 or 4 coats - letting it dry between coats, and then
exposed it.

Processed it by putting the print in water until the dichromate
dissolved and then put it in a tray with a sheet of glass on the bottom,
added a drop of dishwashing detergent and proceded to carefully roll a
roller across the print under water. Everything peeled up and floated
away. :(

I asssume the print was underexposed. In gum printing I can usually see
the image in the exposed unprocessed paper. I didn't see any image
after
exposing the temperaprint.

Any other reasons for the image to peep away. Too many coatings?
Completely incorrect processing technique?
