Fern Lumen Print

Classic lumen print on warmtone silver gelatine paper.

 

Bought this old Fotokemika paper on a Swedish net auction site. Emaks K 888 UB 24x30 cm, claimed to be unopened. It probably wasn't, as it was heavily fogged, even for lith printing. But Ag + UV light never goes wrong.

There's almost no scenario when silver gelatine papers are not usable. The last resort is lumen printing, which worked out well also in this case (warmtone papers being more "photogenic" than cold tone papers).

 

Photogram using a Fresh Fern + Sunlight + Silver gelatine paper, 30 min in Swedish evening sunlight.

 

No developer. No stop bath. No fix. No toning. Just Sun and Silver.

 

PS borders.
