Digital BW, The Print

Here's a description of bromoil:

Actually many of the old processes and inkjet go hand in hand as the ability
to make quadtone negatives for contact printing works quite well for
negatives with optical density under 1.0 or so, and the density of a given
negative appears to be higher for UV using peizo inks.

I'm sitting here looking at my first gum over ziatype that I'm actually
pleased with, from a negative made with pictorico OHP film, peizo ink, and
epson driver, on an 1160.

The print method that most caught my eye at the AIPAD
show in NY was "bromoil". I've heard the term over the
years, but have no idea what's involved in it.
(Although I'm sure it involves at least 41 steps, and
it probably involves caustic chemicals longed banned
by the EPA). But whatever it is, it is a BEAUTIFUL
process.

If you could come even remotely close to that look,
you'd be on to something. And not to mention the
Cyanotypes or VanDykes.

I have a closely-guarded book called PhotoHistorica,
from the British Something of Photography, and it's a
Masters Class in all these techniques. I like to
snuggle up with it, with a glass of Merlot, and a
candle, in my little footie pajamas, and go back to a
different age.

Here's the URL. You'll have to cut and paste the wrap:
