RE: oil prints

Hello John,

I wanted to try it as both a final support for carbon prints and as a
support for oil prints. Besides it is a very beautifull, thin paper with a
matte surface. It shopuld work because it is an unhardened paper. So maybe
my fixer formulary is not right. Well, it was meant to uncomplicated my
workflow but until now it does not.

Barking at the dog helps to.

Regards,

Witho

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

Subject: oil prints

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
