Greetings,
I was trying my hand at some pt printing and diverted to Van Dyke instead to get some experience without the expense. I think I will 'park' on the Van Dyke instead. A coupld of questions if I may:
I am looking to make the results a little more gray and less brown, is there a toner that does this?
(although I must say the VD's do not end up as brown as I expected).
Assuming good paper / processing do the Van Dykes last about as long as pt/pl prints?
I read one should use Agar for sizing a Van Dyke will turn out much better, any comments?
For paper I have tried Arches Platine 140# and while good I like Canson Bristol Smooth better.
Thanks very much for your valuable time and opinions.
