Subject: [Digital BW] Ultrachrome outgassing
I can't believe that this is not more of a widespread issue. Anyone
that has put a 2200 print behind mat and glass in the last couple of
months should inspect the glass closely for fogging. It really takes
the sparkle out of the image; looks dull. Not a good thing when sold.
The fog is a direct copy of the image and wipes off as a dry fine
dust. Dark print area exhibits more, etc. Static is probably a
factor since the particles move to the glass rather than rising.
Also dosen't matter where the print is hung.
I am not sure why a plain paper liner would dry the print any better
or faster than air drying. It is more convienient. The problem still
occurs after letting them air dry for a week or two.
My best results are obtained at around 120 degrees for up to an hour.
Yes, in a clean oven on cardboard. A safe range since the RC's start
to permanantly distort at around 200.
I am too new here to have seen any earlier discussions.
Maybe the good news is that I'm the only one with this problem and am
about to find out what I am doing wrong.
