When we get to 3 or 4 hopefully we'll've improved - or at least some of us - or even trying different processess

All the best, Carl

I found a stack of old fabriano paper. I want to reprint my VDB on it and see if I can get a better image resolution. the talk of acid paper made me wonder if that is my main problem. I did post the image last night in the experimental gallery that I am working on. With me being the only schlocky one in a group of all experts, the pressure is really on me to do better.

My single ply Strathmore 500 plate arrived. I'll probably print round 1 and round 2 at the same time, like I did the last two rounds of postcards.

Which Fabriano is it? If it's Uno, it's likely to be quite alkaline and needs to be acid treated to work well. (At least that's true for pt/pd printing.)

I'd like to join again. This is great motivation to complete goals and I'm learning a ton!

[CarlRadford]

I am sure he just forgot to say...

Package on its way Kerik!

[CarlRadford]

thanks for that - I don't have all the inside info as to who qualifies as an expert!

[colrehogan]

I would like to do this again too. I hope to be getting my round 1 prints done between now and the end of this year.

Do people never learn - or are they always learning...
