Rated 5 out of 5

Beautyful Tonal Range

If you are looking to get into alt process and have some darkroom experience this is the kit for you. Beware of humidity and be sure the paper is dry after coating. Highly recommend you size rag paper if not go with Stonehenge. Transparency film is available from any screen printing supply store and waterproof is recommended. Use any laser or waterproof inkjet printer. Highly recommend that you do test strips if using the sun. I use an exposure box because it saves a great deal of time. USE DISTILLED WATER!!! hard water will ruin your prints

Amazing tonal range

I would highly recommend that you use an exposure box for this process as exposure times in the sun can be up to 15 minutes. However if you have printed a dense negative (or are contacting printing from 4x5 negs) the warmth and richness of these prints is incredibly. You may have to do several tests but if you find a good time you can get something that is real quality. I recommend that you size the paper especially if you are using rag papers, while you loose a little texture the emulsion washes off much better. Do be careful if you plan on adding Potassium Dichromate to the developer as you will loose warmth very quickly and too much will thin your print.
