Thanks aperturius! I'll have to try that. I always use hydrogen peroxide, but am curious to see how vinegar works

What paper do you use?

[stonewareporcelain]

I like many papers, but watercolor papers work very well

awesome soundtrack! and amazing video, is that a 8x10 in camera negative?

[stonewareporcelain]

Thanks, The negative was made using a inkjet printer, although I do use some vintage 8x10 in camera negatives.

That was excellent! I so want to have a go at this, can you tell me what the chemicals are in bottles A & B! I live in OZ so I can't really use your supplier! LOL!

Sorry I took so long to respond:)

Solution A:

Ferric Ammonium Citrate 10 grams + 50 ml of water

Solution B:

Potassium Ferricyanide 4 grams + 50 ml of water

Awesome! I just ordered some film for my box camera, I have to try this process.

It would also be interesting to experiment with some digital art, the possibilities are endless!

this is awesome! I'm a fashion designer and I would like to try it on fabrics, but I need your consideration first. Can this techniue be applied in fabrics?

Resume paper also works very well because of its fibrous nature, but it's more expensive and you need to look out for the watermark.

That was a truly great video. Thanks :)

Extra tip: if your prints are coming out with too much contrast using just water, try a 1:1 mix of vinegar + water. This will bring out more tonal range than water alone.

So all the darkened areas of the negative are going to be white? Thanks for the tutorial! I'm going to make so blueprints!
