Quick contact print. Aiming for high contrast negs for salt and kallitype printing, I think I hit it. Foma 100 @64, Pyrocat HD 1+1+100, 11.5 minutes

Ian, if you were able to make a print on silver gelatin paper with that negative, then its not nearly dense enough in the high values to work well as a salt print negative. Have you made salt prints from in-camera negatives before? They have to have more high value density than a negative for Kallitypes/PtPd prints.

Paul - yes, I have made salt prints. This was not easy to make work as a silver gelatin print, I think it'll work for salt (my usual desired end result is quite low contrast). But my main interest is kallitypes, so if it doesn't quite work out with salt I won't be too upset.
