Re: oil prints

Witho, I would try 1% Amm. Dich. for the same exposure time (?).
Maybe the matrix is getting so hardened by the 3% that very little, or no, gelatine is being allowed to swell. There are two or three variables to try, including a change in the fixer, of course.
             I know you will sort the problem in due course.
Regards to the dog. John.

  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.
