Deixant el Biotop / Won't be using Biotop

IN ENGLISH BELOW THE LINE

 

Calotip mètode Pélegry modificat (mel en comptes de xerigot), en format 4x5; paper UP Biotop. Sense aportar-hi ni lactosa a la iodització ni dextrina al sensibilitzat; revelat amb acid gal·lic i acetonitrat de plata.

 

Decididament crec que deixaré el paper Biotop. Tot i que els calotips son factibles, s'enfosqueix massa i sobretot fer-ne copies en paper salat és impossible.

 

==========================

 

Calotype done following the Pélegry method (modified), with honey and no whey, lactose nor dextrin; UP Biotop paper, cut to 4x5. Developed with gallic acid and acetonitrate of silver.

 

I will not use more Biotop paper for calotypes: it gets too dark even before exposure, and specially it's texture makes salt prints impossible.
