I spent last week at a BTZS workshop with Phil Davis who I'm sure
some of you know or know of. Besides myself, there were 2 other pt/pd
printers so much conversation related to alternative processes. Phil
is the person responsible for the sodium dichromate method of
contrast control described in Dick Arentz's book on pt/pd process. In
a discussion of UV light sources, Phil said that he had made a bank
of fluorescent tubes using regular cool white bulbs which were
comparable in printing time to black light bulbs. This seems almost
heretical, but considering the cost differential between the 2 types
of bulbs, I suppose it's worth trying for anyone making a new light
or replacing old fluorescent tubes.
