Just perfect. I hope that someday I could make even a some kind of bromoil print. Do you want to give any tips or are they artist's secrets ?

Heli - there are no secrets - it just takes patience, practice and persistance! Exposure at the enlarging stage is a key. I use supercoated papers, Kentmere Fineprint is my corrent favorite, and over expose by at least a stop, and maybe more. Testing will tell you how much! Keep your ink stiff. Take your time. Enjoy!

Thanks a lot for advice, Gene. I think I'm going to spend some time in my darkroom soon
