Try using a clearing bath of Hydrochloric Acid (31.45%). Dilute 30 mls. to
1 gallon of water. If you want to go cheaper and I think as good use
Muriatic Acid from the hardware store. Same dillution. Both EDTA and Citric
Acid are rather mild clearing agents. Sodium Sulphite dose work wonders at
times but hydrochloric acid is by far the best clearing bath. Do be carefull
it is very toxic both the fumes and to the touch although once it is dil. 30
mls to 1 gallon water it is rather mild. It will bleach out highlights if
print is left in it for too long. I have some info on Velum and as soon as I
can find it I'll send it off.
