Hardening the BW Emulsion and Paper

[Mustafa Umut Sarac]

I learned it would be possible to harden gelatin as much as pressing it to lead plate.

How to do that to developed paper and film bw ?

Like a Woodburytype? I don't think a BW print (silver gelatine) has any relief to be able to do that. A film negative however, developed in pyrocat-hd, has very slight relief but I'm not sure if it would be enough to register in lead.

Good morning Andrew and all,

I want to use hardened film or paper as my solarplate. If it would be very stiff , I think it would be a longer life. I am still asking how to harden film or paper as woodburytype gelatin plate and hard as possible
