Set up your Workspace
You need:
-
Two tables: one for paper prep and one for process/wash trays
-
Three plastic trays (large enough for your paper)
-
Tap water
-
A space with no UV light (sunlight or artificial lights that give off UV light). Fluorescent light will not develop the emulsion.
-
Heavy cotton paper (cold or hot pressed 100 lb)
-
Liquid laundry starch
-
Brush, small ceramic dish
-
Distilled water
-
An exposure frame (available commercially, or a DIY alternative)
-
Sunlight
Sawhorses and plywood covered in plastic works well. Hold the paper down with painter's tape.
The chemicals are toxic, so dedicated trays are important. A nearby water source is helpful.
