Temi asked: I use Ilford RC paper for regular shots. The packages are marked Medium Wgt. Can I use this for PH negs? If not, what paper would be best? I used to use a GREAT Kodak product called Kodabromide. But after they discontinued making it, I switched to Ilford Multicontrast. Most any SINGLE

I think he laminated the front side with lamination film like that made by Seal. Not the pocket made now for encapsulation, but just a lamination to the front. I was confused as how the slaps with a ruler helped separate it. I have some lamination film and will try it out and report back later. b2

I used the method as Leezy described. For you experimenters, I did find a certain chemical solution that made peeling the emulsion from the paper backing much easier, but I've forgotten which chemical. A hundred years ago photographers who used glass plates stripped the emulsion off all unuseable

I am new to this website so I do not know if this topic has been explored yet. In the mid-1970s I built pinhole cameras and used RC enlarging paper in the cameras. After exposure and development, I stripped the RC emulsion from its paper backing. This made a very useful negative. I had earlier
