Hi Paul,
I have made a few salt prints using the negatives I've developed specifically for palladium printing. For salt printing, Terry King has mentioned a density of 1.8-2.0. I target 1.4 for...
For those of you with experience using the Wollensak Series II Velostigmat, can you obtain a soft-focus image at smaller apertures (f.16, 22 ex.) if you adjust the front ring well past number 5, as...
Doremus, I did just that. Look ma, no more stain! Thanks, Rob
Hypo did not work. Bleach however took care of it after an overnight soak.
Thank you all for the ideas!
Duolab123, interesting summer job. How was all that silver nitrate being used?
Doremus, I tried your idea first since I have bleach on hand. The sink has been...
It was only going to be a matter of time after switching to Kallitype printing...
Do any of you know how to remove silver nitrate stains from a porcelain sink?
Thank you!
Here is the article Greg Mentions. I had to get it from the internet archive since the current link on their site isn't active.

Why not just make some negatives with it and see what YOU think? It sounds like you're getting started. So do that. I don't think it will be a waste of your time!
I like that! Unless he's shooting 12x20... Just kidding!
Thanks for the info Doug. I've been thinking about Stevens' book. May try to look at one through inter-library loan, when that's available again. I have a small stash of palladium here too, not a...
You're right about that Drew. There must be something I'm misunderstanding about the numbers on the chart. I say this because Dick is clearly an accomplished printer with this process!
Doug, glad to hear you had similar results! And I agree, at the end of the day you need to develop for as long as it takes to get the result. I have been doing some kallitypes here lately, and...
In Dick Arentz's book "Platinum and Palladium Printing" he published data for use with FP4 and D-76 to yield a negative with a density range of 1.4. I tried to use these numbers, but they were way...
I'm using FP4 rated at 64 and processed in D-76 1:1 for 12-14 minutes for negatives printed with salt or kallitype. Works well for me.
Mael, that's a lovely portrait. Well done!
I have not used a Toyo 45G, and I can't presume to know how familiar you are with LF cameras, BUT... is it possible that you're trying to focus the camera while it's actually locked in its current...
Randy, have you ever tried the open source GIMP? For the tasks you mention, I have found it to be a great piece of software. I don't have much PS experience, so I can't make a good comparison between...
Thanks for the idea. I looked at Last Rose, and then a bunch of others. I have not spent as much time as I should looking at Sudek's work! So many lovely and inspiring images. -Rob
Ken, your take on an "equivalent", perhaps? I like it.
I just spit tea out my nose!
Great. Thanks for the feedback Peter. That seems to make for a pretty nice workflow then.
I have been using gelatin size w/ Glyoxal hardener for gum prints. It sounds like you recommend I try that...
A question for those of you making salted paper prints: In that first step when the salt is applied and dried, is it practical to coat several sheets for a few printing sessions and hold them for...
Mark! That's a wonderful story. Thanks for the link. Whenever I read something like this I think about other people doing similarly interesting things. How many of them do we never hear about?

Two new portraits of Yuki printed in gum dichromate. 4x5, 12" Velostigmat, FP4, printed on Rives de Lin.

Emil, that's just lovely. You've got the focus perfect too. Tell me, what kind if exposure times are you getting with the paper neg? I've made some portraits of my wife in low light that were around...
Thank you Miguel! I'm a big fan of the pictorialist aesthetic.
-Rob
Thank you Louis. It's a pretty versatile kit, though a little heavy for hand-holding. Most of the time I've got it on a tripod.
Portrait of my wife, Yuki. 12" Velostigmat on a 4x5 Graflex SLR. 4-second exposure. Gum dichromate printed on Rives de Lin.
I wish I had a better way to share these than by taking a phone copy...
Still life to share. Gum dichromate on Rives de Lin, taken on FP4 with a 12" Velostigmat and Graflex SLR 4x5.

Kent,
You could open your email client and maximize it to get a white screen on your computer. If you're on a Windows computer, try opening Notepad full screen. Either of those should give you a...
A couple of recent roll-film pictures to share. Both on FP4, developed in D76 straight 17m, printed in Palladium on Arches Platine.
One of my local friends showed me some of his triptychs and it...
Andress007, funny you should ask. Just last week I was doing some research on Japanese papers and watched a video on YouTube. In the comments section somebody asks where they can get the chemistry in...
Kent and Mark mention the Velostigmat. I love my Series II with the soft focus control. It's 12" and I've currently got it on the front of a 4x5 Graflex SLR. Great for portraits, as well as still...
Randy, he did enlarge as far as I can glean from what's been written. But a negative taken at 1:1 does not yield the detail of 1:30 magnification through enlargement. Still contemplating how to go...
Dan, thank you for your comment regarding diffraction. So, this evening I got around to reading the PDF that Luke linked to above. It's quite interesting in general, but the meat of it for the...
Guys, I'm interested in this as well - not to make wet plates, but rather pt/pd or gum prints in 4x5. I recently acquired a 4x5 camera with substantial bellows that is mounted on two rails with a...
I like my 210 G Claron on the 8x10. I also use it on a 4x5 Crown Graphic AND it's small enough to leave on the camera when it's folded. Great little lens.
Yes, we live a little south of the university. I will send you a private message here this afternoon. Perhaps we can get together and look at some prints. I'd like to show you some gum dichromate...
Good job Cameron! I live in Bellingham and have attended that festival a few times in the past. I even recognize one of your subjects from around town here. I'm impressed that you made more than 80...
