Keith Howard solar exposure Makingartsafely

Hi Gan, you were probably using ImagOn Ultra which used different exposure times, todays best polymer is "ImagOn HD." You can find out more information by visiting nontoxicprint (dot) com or getting a copy of "The Contemporary Printmaker," by Keith. For ink try, waterbasedinks (dot) com

Remove the soft peel back layer by folding over a piece of packaging tape and adhering it to a non porous flat surface. Hold the ImagOn curl side down with fingers on both sides using approximately a 45 degree angle and gently touch the corner edge to the sticky tape, proceed to lift.

Hi Bernice,

my name is Peter. I'm a German artist, living in Japan, where it is very hard to get informations on intagliotype or nontoxic printing yet. I ordered a starter kit from a shop in Germany where I attended a course with Keith Howard 2002, but then we didn't did sun-exposure and it was the old type of Imageon.

Did I understand right, that Keith exposed it for just 15 seconds? And unfortunately it didn't show the developement time. Do you remember, how long it was?

Thanks for your help!

He did say 15 seconds. I tried one today - cloudy but still quite bright - and 20 seconds seemed about right.

For developing, he said 9 minutes in the video, but I've read that it can take from 5 to 10 minutes (guessing on the condition of the soda ash/water developer).

I was hoping to see his method for peeling back the outer sheets from the ImagOn film, it's giving me fits. But no luck.
