An orotone print from a digital image. I exposed a digital negative on a Zebra dry plate and backed it with gold metallic spray paint. The orotone is 5x7 inches (12.7 x 17.8 cm) in size.

That is really nice. 👏

I've had a few goes at orotones and ended up in a mess with acrylic paint or pseudo gold leaf and nothing that looked that good. Could I ask what the spray paint you used was?

Sorry for the late reply. I tried coating the glass with gold-metallic acrylic paint (both through brushing and brayering) but got streaks I considered unacceptable. I tried a couple of different spray paints and concluded that Rustoleum Metallic Finish Bright Coat Gold (#7710830) was the brightest and best. I got it at Ace hardware.
