Elke Muller sent me a PDF that addresses using PNP-Blue (Toner-Transfer) in electrolytic/saline-sulfate etching.
I will link PDFs, websites and other information later.
I actually have a variety of etching (and transfer) methods on my list for future posting.
Done quite a bit of research and have had some practice, but need more of both.
Played with a few techniques but haven't gotten to Electrolytic Processes yet.
We just started up the Saline-Sulfate etch last year.
Electrolytic etching is next on our list -- which also uses saline sulfate.
It uses an (electrical) battery charge so I want to make sure the salt-etching solutions are mastered first.
I've used PNP-Blue several times for toner-transfer acid etching with good results.
Toner makes a good resist for acid, so I'm glad to see it works for saline.
The grounds that are used for acid get mangled by the saline-sulfate.
Only the traditional "toxic" ones are holding up.
Still working on a good acrylic-ground recipe.
(For more info see this group's extensive research - http://www.nontoxicprint.com/hardandsoftground.htm)
I have worked with other techniques which also yielded good results.
The effects can vary a bit and are interesting.
We'll also be able to expand photo-techniques when the exposure room is finished.
Various projects with images will be added later.
Please note - I'm extremely cautious in my approach to publishing until I'm more skilled.
So - subject items can take to long to appear.
