hi years ago i had a problem with my groundglass being broken
it made all my photographs look upside down and backwards. eventually
i got it fixed ..
now i am having trouble with my digital ink / pigment prints and i was hoping someone would shed some light for me..
ok i have a file that i ripped from either a negative or print that i scanned. i do whatever i need to do to get it
to the print stage but here's the problem. the paper comes out of the printer nice and crisp, like to die for ...
but as soon as i put the paper in the developer and fixer it gets all messed up
well, sometimes, it depends on the paper and the ink. i'm not printing color files because i don't do
color darkroom work, just b/w .. i've used expensive and cheap printers and inks/pigments but its hit or miss..
should i agitate less in the developer and fixer ? i thought ink/pigment printing was supposed to be easier than enlarging/contact printing ..
im thinking of going back to straight darkroom work if i can't figure this out ..
thanks in advance for your help !
