Hello,
I am currently making my first salt prints.
I am currently trying out 2 recipes:
- 18g sodium citrate
- 20g ammonium chloride
- 9g gelatine
- 1l dist. water
- 20g sodium cirtate
- 20g ammonium chloride
- 1l dist. water
The recipe with the gelatine brings a little more contrast.
What surprises me is that I need more than double the amount of silver nitrate for the paper treated with gelatine. Also the coating (with brush) is much more difficult because the silver nitrate penetrates very fast into the paper felt.
Is this normal?
I am curious to get some answers.
Thanks
Andreas
