Re: Old paper - to what use?

From: ann sanfedele [EMAIL PROTECTED] I made some abstract geometric images exposing photo paper to light with various configurations of covering it up with various objects... trouble is you then have to photo that as it won't last - or at least I couldn't figure a way to do it. Put them in

Re: Old paper - to what use?

I early said - photograph them :-) It would be the same thing... Now I'm wondering wehre those old abstracts are and it makes me want to do more. I don't ahve any old un exposed real photo paper left... BTW they lasted a long time in dark storage... I got bored with it after a while.

Ann you have to develop them too. If you don't the silver crystals won't stabilize and the fixer will simply dissolve them. ann sanfedele wrote: John Sessoms wrote: From: ann sanfedele [EMAIL PROTECTED] I made some abstract geometric images exposing photo paper to light with various

Re: Old paper - to what use?

Of course developing them won't do much good after the rest of the paper is exposed to light, since it would be all black. P. J. Alling wrote: Ann you have to develop them too. If you don't the silver crystals won't stabilize and the fixer will simply dissolve them. ann sanfedele wrote:

P.j. You just don't understand :-) Maybe you misunderstood what I had done... mind you,this was 20 years ago so my memory is fuzzy but I tried all that stuff, fiddling around... I can't really show you what I'm talking about hmmm actually I could by faking it in photoshop...

Re: Old paper - to what use?

Old gelatin silver paper cannot be used in an inkjet printer. The ink will not stick properly to the paper surface. And, unless you fix the paper, it will eventually darken and discolor. Unless you're going to get to work in a wet darkroom, the paper is worthless and should be recycled.

Re: Old paper - to what use?

Unless you fix that paper, (under no more light than a safelight), it will turn gray then totally black very quickly. You won't have great pictures for very long. It seems like a poor use of photo sensitive paper to run it through fixer wash and dry it, just to print an inkjet image, (which

Lasse, Hi, nice to see you posting. Have you considered trading the paper for some prints. Can you find someone who is still running a wet darkroom and printing service? Would they take paper in trade for some printing? Regards, Bob S. On Mon, Nov 17, 2008 at 10:41 AM, Lasse Karlsson [EMAIL
