Lodima Fine Art Paper--Official reports and Member Responses

[c6h6o3]

What developer are you using? My "N" test neg was developed in Pyrocat HD, as was one of my negs that prints nicely at grade 3 on MGIV- apparently they take much longer exposure times due to the stain.

The developer makes all the difference. My best Azo prints are printed from negatives developed in Harvey's and they're unprintable on Lodima. Pyrocat negatives need much longer exposure times, which leads me to conclude that Azo and Lodima have very different spectral sensitivities. However, I've never been able to get quite the glow I like with Pyrocat. I've always reserved its use for semi-stand negatives, which I don't do very often.

I have a hard time believing there's something wrong with my negative exposure and development system because it has proven itself accurate to me, most especially with this test neg I've used.

There's never anything wrong with exposure or development that gets you the prints you want.

Michael announced the Large Lodima Order. Details are on the Azo forum.

[Michael A. Smith]

I will be making announcement about taking orders for Lodima Fine Art paper as soon as we work a few bugs out on the announcement page and on the shopping cart. If you all could wait a couple o days before discussing this, I would sure appreciate it.

I will start a new thread for the announcement.

We are also about to become sponsors here on APUG. We have been wanting to do that for a long time, and to offer special things to APUG members, but we just have to work out the bugs first and those things take us way too long, since we are not savvy about HTML and how web sites are constructed.

Many thanks for your consideration.

Do you have a hard bound edition subscription? I realized that a book should be out pretty soon, I have the soft bound subscription and I'm really enjoying them. I'm putting together a new library room so there is space ready for them.
