RE: media for oil prints

Henk, this is very good advice. AFAIK, Emil Schildt does so and his
results are wonderful:

In stead of going to oil-printing after using the Kentmere paper for it,
a nice solution is making your own bromoil-paper with liquid light (SE1
from Silverprint), one can use the wide range of nice papers like the
one for gum etc.!
Cheers,

I have used light magnesium carbonate (foot powder) for thickening the
'ink" and linseed oil for thinning it. Use very very little though.

If you are not using etching or litho inks, available in a wide range of
colours anyway, try 'artists' ' oil colours but add a smidgen of the
light magnesium carbonate, or mix up your colours from pure pigment
using linseed oil as the medium. In my experience these all work well.

After I have run out of my Document Art I am thinking of going back to
oil printing.
