Hello All - I am now back and will be looking at Photrio again and hopefully having civil conversations. I left a few years back due to Covid business pressures and an unfortunate post
that was very harmful to me personally. Like many here the downturn in the economy forced many of us to make decisions, I found myself on too many forum sites which was not
good for my daily production.

I have been printing non stop for the last few years using digital negatives off an Epson Printer ( I got rid of the Lambda) and making contact prints up to 30 x 40 inches on many processes.
My particular fav is Multiple Gum Bichromate over Palladium. I now have a young assistant, her name is Anam and she is doing the bulk of the work in production with me looking over her shoulder.
We specialize in Silver , Gum over Pd, Gum over Cyanotype and framing . Currently working on a major silver gelatin project for a photographer that will be at then end of next year donated
to Museums world wide , as well its my 50th anniversary next Sept 24 when I first saw a print emerge from the developer. My project will be an ongoing series of Multiple hit prints using film solarization
and print solarization and printing these out in colour and black and white.

I look forward to participating here, I will now curtail my time on the other forum so that I can spend some time here.

Bob
 
Glad we have you back, Bob. If anything I missed your first-hand experience, educational posts.
 
Welcome back!
 
Yes—welcome back! Always appreciated your voice of printing experience!

Wow, Bob, great to hear from you, glad to see you back. Your work is amazing. Very happy to hear your input.
Best Regards Mike
 
A lot of us ebb & flow out of here...I've always appreciated your accumulated knowledge and how you're always searching & experimenting to get more out of old & new/experimental materials, equipment, & processes.
 
Oh, and if you find someone is being annoying, don’t forget the forums ‘ignore’ feature. I’ve used it on only four people since waaaay back in the APUG days, and it works like a charm👍
 
Good to see you back and look forward to reading what you have to say.
 
Good to see you Bob. I don't frequent Photrio much anymore, but dtop in once in awhile.

Take care, you're one of the good guys 😀

Welcome back Bob. You have been missed.
 
This is great that you are coming back here.
 
Welcome back Bob! I kept up with your work via your YouTube channel, but it's good to see you posting on Photrio again.
 
Welcome, hey since you got rid of the Lambda, do you have any scraps of that Digital Galerie?
 
Welcome back Bob! It felt so strange because I also took a year's or so break 2022 and lately I have been running into a lot of discussions where you contributed, and specifics like MGWT Lith printing, thanks for the knowledge.
So upon seeing this thread I was in disbelief that you stopped posting in 2020! Can the older account under your name be used, something mods/admins could do?
 
It's wonderful to have you back! Your contributions have been really helpful in the past-- as I'm sure future ones will be. 🙂
