RE: oil prints

I understand this is the standard F24 formula. I thought "maybe" it's
the bisulfite / metabisulfite which is causing the problem, that's why I
suggested two separate baths (first being the very plain fix, second
being the hypo cleaning + gelatine softening bath) and a good wash of
course... But I maybe completely off-track too!
 
Anyway, I personally would be trying this instead of barking at dogs ;)
 
Best regards,
Loris.

Hello Loris,

I used a 24% sodium thiosulfate, 1% sodium sulfite and a 2,5% sodium
bisulfite solution as a fixer, in one bath.

Regards,

Witho

I know near to nothing about oil / bromoil (well I may be exaggerating a
little bit here) but, what if you use a plain 20% sodium thiosulfate fix
+ a short 2% sodium sulfite bath as two separate steps? I'd try that.

Regards,

Loris.

John,

3% by immersion.

I just tried the same negative with the same exposure time for a carbon
print. The catron was very overexposed. So for the brom 240 this must
have been enough.

Cheers,

It is already time for tea.

Hi Witho, What is the % strength of your sensitizer and how is it
applied to the fixed out Bergger 240? Brushing or by immersion?
Exposure times might have something to do with the question, too.

         Woof, woof. Have a good day. John.

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
