If you read my post, you know my folly of yesterday. Well, not really a folly, but a learning experiance. So let me tell you of today, day two. Got up bright and early at 10 am (too much tv last night), went to eat chinese, then got to work polishing the plate. Still had trouble getting a nice finish, but got it looking better than the one yesterday. I think I even sensitized it correctly. Taped a white piece of poster board to the wall, pulled the plate off the iodine, held it close to the poster at about a 35 degree angle, and shined a small flashlight into it. It reflected the color onto the whiteboard rather nicely. Loaded it up into the printing frame, covered with my darkcloth, walked outside, and exposed for 33 seconds(versus 11 yesterday). Once loaded and covered with rubylith, I put it in the sun. Checked it 10 minutes later, and the image was there! And not a faint image, but it looked about 90%! Left it for a total of 1 1/2 hours, then fixed it. Looked pretty good, but the highlights hadn’t really filled in. The fact that the image had appeared so quickly led me to believe I had maybe overexposed the image. Since I’ve been a silver gelatin printer for years, the concept of overexposing and having a light image doesn’t really compute, but these are dags, right? So on to plate three.
