Nathalie is as good a b&w printer as anyone. Anything that she does that looks casual is the result of vast repetition. If I tried to handle large FB prints like she does, I would hopelessly crease them. I'm sure you'd find she is just very careful about frequently replacing the solutions. That's quicker than a lot of waiting for the print to drip off. >I presume she's bleaching when she uses the brush or Q-tip and then >quickly washing it off. Amazing!!! Yes, that's bleach.
