Liquid Emulsion
First experiments with Foma's Liquid Emulsion on Hahnemühle Platinum Rag. Print size about 14x20 cm (rest of he 8x10 used as test strips).
Mamiya 645 ProTL + Rollei IR 400. Shots from Sept 2015, Borgviks Bruk.
25 g emulsion (+0,4 ml hardener) was more than enough to coat 2 pcs of 8x10" paper with a thick layer. A lot of curling when dried and some problems with getting the paper flat on the easel. After processing in ordinary multigrade paper developer (although the emulsion has a fixed grade around 3), acidic stop bath and fixing in rapid acidic fixer, the paper-emulsion combo was ok to flatten in a Seal dry mounting press @ 80°C without visible degradation of the image.
The emulsion is very light sensitive, these prints were exposed only for 5 sec @ f11, despite pretty dense negs.
