    B&W Paper Reversal New Method?

    Joe Van Cleave has a lot of very good You Tubes

    Below is one which is a combo, first a DIY box camera used to take the paper negative and reverse process it quickly on camera

    Then he does a color print reversal all in 14 minute

    Joe also love typewriters...

    hey randy

    the fun thing about using hydrogen peroxide for reversals is you DON"T need to use the high percentage one but you can use the cheep stuff found at the dollar store or big lots or wherever you might pick up your .99 pint of H2O2. one thing I learned from a mad scientist named NedL is if you have an ample supply of dilute citric acid and water you just squirt a little in the peroxide until it starts to vanish the image. it takes a little experimentation to find the "sweet spot" but once you find it, it makes making reversals kind of fun. Another mad scientist DonF got me hooked on using some sort of rust removal stuff ( I think its called rust out or rust away found at big box hardware stores like hoome despot ) as a fogging developer/fixer monobath ( I've rinsed in water and re-fixed ). I'm not a "pro" like ned or don or joe but its fun and easy and you don't need crazy chemistry to do reversals.

    Joe definitely deserves credit for popularizing paper reversal through his innovative ideas and videos. But B&W paper reversal gets 'reinvented' frequently with different people using different developer and bleach. The basic process is quite old and remains the same. It is well summarized by Ron Mowrey in this post from 2011:

    I've used the method described by Ron and it works perfectly.

    Lovely demo. I never try hydrogen peroxide bleach before but might give it a go. Nice 8x10 developing tray used at 06:25. is that a DIY tank?

    The tank is a prototype combination film holder and processing tray
