Digital BW, The Print

When I was learning photography back in the 1960's, I used to squeegee the prints that I wanted glossy onto ferrotype plates. The ones that I used were the steel ones with a baked on black enamel coating. The plate had to be  polished with a special plate polish that would allow the print to peel off as it dried. If it wasn't "polished" it could stick and be almost impossible to remove. However, a soaking in Pakosol solution before squeegeeing helped a lot. Sure there were tricks to it, but it wasn't that complicated. You got the hang of it after a couple of times and if you screwed up, you just resoaked the prints and tried again.

Gee. Am I old or what?
