Alt-Process Prints from Digital Negatives or Positives

This time I coated the kallitype image with Lumitex matte varnish. I much prefer the matte finish. The Kallitype was also gold toned.

That's a beauty Andrew!

Ps. Have you tried a dilute pva size? Just wondering if there's enough size in pva for carbon to stick to

Thanks, Erik. It's a lot of work just to make one print... but it's worth it.

Bob, you might take a look at Krylon Kamar Varnish, non-yellowing, acid free, and suitable for watercolors. I've used it over gum prints, worked OK.

I use this Krylon Kamar Varnish 1312 Glossy over platinum prints on vellum. Works great.

Sorry, Erik. I forgot to answer your question. Yes I have used a dilute PVA (1+1) and it worked fine as long as I let it sit for a day to cure. That's why I dropped it and went to acrylic mediums. Brush on, dry, and ready to go.
