By any chance are printing out emulsions popular in Europe? Are there
any other brands?
It has occured to me to try making it my self. I have some recipes from
Cassel's cyclopedia of photography (1911) for gelatin POP emulsion. They
are under the entry for emulsions. It claims that POP emulsion is the
easiest form of silver-gelatin emulsion to make. Has anybody tried
anything like this in living memory?
One more shot in the dark: has anybody tried to make a calotype lately?
