Hi again Witho, Could you please tell us what is the attraction, for you, about using Bergger Brom 240 for Oil? Does it have a special quality of texture?
I encountered your problem when trying to use Resin Coated papers for Oil and Bromoil. But, obviously, this RC paper had no gelatine on it so I expected things would be difficult. But, anyway, the experiment was useful.
Following failures, I blow my nose three times and whistle the introductory melody to Stravinsky's ''Rite of Spring''. This sometimes does the trick and all my problems disappear.
Happy Oiling. John

I am struggling with Brom 240 from Bergger. I would like to try it for oil. So I fixed the paper out in FX 24 (Kodak non hardening fixer), dried, super dried en tried but there is almost no relief after soaking. 20, 30, 40 celsius does not make a difference. I can see a faint image after exposure though. Is my fixer not ok? Who is experienced with this paper and give me a clue.
Cheers,
Witho
