Topic: Glass plates again

[Andrea.]

I love playing with old glass plates and from time to time, I get a usuable image I  can POP print. sometimes I get nothing at all - as with earlier today with an Ilford Selochrome plate and also a Kodak Super Panchro Press plate. Anyway,This one is a Mimosa plate developed in PQ universal and printed on Kentmere POP and gold toned. A little blown out as Fergal hasn't much of a suntan despite sitting in the sun all day.

fergal is great .... love those dungarees.  Andrea, can you tone pop in selenium too?

[Andrea.]

To be quite honest I couldn't tell you. Never tried it. Works well toned in platinum - but I have not got any left and it is expensive.

POP does not tone well in Selenium, Kodak Rapid or others that I have tried.  I makes a great image for a brief second or two and then it bleaches it out.  If you can snatch it and rinse it can be awesome.  There is one component to the stock toners that causes the bleach out, don't have it in front of me.
