The chemistry must be mixed EXACTLY according to directions.
Part A and part B must be combined in equal amounts JUST before applying.
***The paper must be bone dry after applying chemistry and before putting on 
the neg. and exposing.

The exposure should be long enough for the image (by inspection) begins to 
turn grey...and then some.

Wash in cold water until the water is clear.

You may make a solution of a few drops of hydrogen peroxide in a tray of 
water. The image will turn an intense blue.

Good Luck.

Hi Catherine,

To clear Type 55 film you can use a regular dilution of PermaWash instead of 
Sodium Sulfite which is difficult to dilute. Just keep the film wet until you 
return home for clearing and washing...use Photoflo at the end.

For the dreamy effect, you may want to try a zone plate pinhole.

Good Luck...keep us informed.

Why not?
or 
if you are using FB paper, you can draw with a very soft pencil on the back 
of the negative...
or
use bleach on the front (very diluted potassium ferricyanide)
or 
do split filter printing.

Here are the directions:
1. Put neg in enlarger...or place on paper negative, face down on new paper 
from box (emulsion touching emulsion, lined up)
2. Frame and focus if using neg in enlarger.
3. Set enlarger at an appropriate f stop...(never change f stop)
4. Using  a #5 filter, make a test
5. Process normally
6. Select a time  (maximum black for minimum time)
7. Put another sheet of enlarging paper in the easel
8. Make an exposure, with the #5 filter, that you decided would be the best 
time
9. Change nothing but remove the #5 filter and replace with #0 filter
10. Make another test with the #0 filter over the #5 filter exposure
11. Process
12. Select and redo at two best settings...one exposure for #5, one exposure 
over it for #0
• It may still be necessary to do some dodging and burning, but less than 
with single filter printing.
* It may sometimes advisable to use a combination of different filters...#4  
#0.#5  #1, etc. depending upon the negative and the desired results.

it will be easy to flatten your prints.  If not, you'll need to put them

 Unfortunately, these threads then translate onto your positive and is not 
so
attractive.  I have not found a way to deal with that. 

Soak the paper and peel off the back. This may leave a texture which you do 
or do not like. Other than that, I don't know.

Another tricky issue to deal with is the color filtration at the
negative-creation stage, if you are to make a positive image.  Color paper is
calibrated to tungsten light and you need to correct with a blue filter.  But
then color negatives have an orange base and, since the filtration in the
enlarger is calibrated for that, you need to have a similar orange filter in
your negative carrier.

I never did filtration while shooting. (WillieAnn Wright used filtration in 
making Ilfochromes, then Cibas). Without filtration in the negative-creation 
stage, the image comes out orange. When you try to make a contact print, the 
resulting image is cyan. If you include cyan in you filter packlots of 
cyan, you begin to see some realistic looking color. It's back and forth with 
numerous attempts in the filter pack (dialing) but with patience you'll get 
somewhere. It's never 100% realistic color. The real problem for me is when I 
try to take the color paper negative and make a DIGITAL positive from it. 
THAT has been very difficult. Anybody here have any suggestions or experience 
with that?

I like this thread. 

Cheers to all my fellow pinholers.

 How would you enlarge paper via your enlarger? 

Cut the paper negative 4 x 5 and place it in the negative carrier then in 
the negative stage of the enlarger, emulsion side down. Set you enlarger lens 
wide open and make a test print. The problem is focusing. You can use a film 
negative to do that and then substitute the paper neg...if you have trouble 
focusing. It works...with an extended exposure. You can dodge and burn and I 
maybe use filters.
