Hi folks,

For any of you oil printers out there, does changing the percent solution of the dichromate change the contrast of the final print in a way similar to the carbon process? Many thanks to any clues given.
Regards

not doing the carbon process, but yes: change in percent solution will change contrast...

However, you can controll a lot of the contrast by altering the stiffness of the oil used in the inking...

Is it the stiffer the ink the more contrast you will have?
