Digital BW, The Print

Hello Paul,

Thanks for the thorough reply.  The "counter-shift" is an interesting
approach, I'm real curious how this will unfold.

BTW, I have a PhotoRag version of the Septone/2200 tech print on a
large south facing picture window sill where it gets bright but not
direct sunlight all day (an awning over the window).  Half of each of
the images and the ramp are covered.  It's air conditioned so the RH
is relatively low (for Florida in summer, but I don't have an accurate
hygrometer).  A thermometer beside the print hovers around 80 F.
during the day.  It's been 10 days now (100 hrs of bright light?) and
so far no discernible change.  I'll post here if I see anything.  If I
remember correctly you're using a more controlled test environment, so
I'm real interested in your results with the things Martin sent.

BTW #2, I had an old test print (BO with MIS FS K )in the kitchen
earlier in the summer and some mango juice dripped on it and sat for a
couple of days.  It's dark sticky resinous stuff, and just to see what
would happen I ran some water on the area and rubbed it with my
fingers (including some fingernail scraping) to try to wash it off.  I
was surprised and pleased to find the print took a considerable amount
of water and rubbing without destroying the image.  I actually was
able to remove the gooey stuff and leave the image intact. The sap had
penetrated through the coating into the paper so the stain couldn't be
removed, but it's nice to know that the prints can withstand some
moisture and abrasion.

Clayton
