Alt-Process Prints from Digital Negatives or Positives

Thanks! The size helped too.

I like it too and was planning to start my pigment print adventure with an ivory black. Now I know which one I will try first. This thread has some beautiful prints in it.

"Chains" - a Gold-toned Kallitype on sized WC paper.

Size - 12" x 19"
I sized Artistico Fabriano paper with gelatin for this print.
On coating, got the white spots. Never could get rid of them.
Dig neg on Pictorico.

Can Pictorico handle being put in an enlarger? I want to make a digital positive for wet plate work. Enlargement would be minimal. Some would be 1:1.

Haven't tried it but I don't see why not. As long it lets light through, it should work.

Not with good results IMO.. You can have LVT negatives made which are what Salgado and many other workers are doing.

Sizing is difficult for metal like sensitizers. Stevens mention in his book Sizing only if the paper is to open. His formula is :
7g gelatin
500 ml distilled water
1g alum
25 ml alcohol absolute

Mix and heat als normal.

I tried it and it works.

If you're just looking for a sheen enhancement, post-sizing over the finished print with gelatin works quite well.
