I mean a serious book to help me afford it. My Leica negatives and others are still waiting to be printed in one of those techniques like the ones in the subject line and maybe carbon prints also...>> Pablo, There is a book called 'Spirits of Salts' by Randall Webb. Includes: Salt Printing POP Kallitype Platinum and Palladium Cyanotype Gum Printing*** Bromoil Oil Printing Maybe not cyanotypes and tintypes. I thought someone made a tintype kit. Fotospeed do a cyanotype kit and an argrotype kit. Kyle does a gaffertape kit - we've all seen his advert. I haven't looked at the book, but I have seen it in a local remainder store. Should I investigate further? Regards, Malcolm ***Gum printing must be similar to the teeth printing practiced by that US Navy dentist on Admiral ????? when he was a PoW. You know, the dentist who engraved 'Remember Pearl Harbor' in morse code on the back of the Admirals false teeth. Corrections and additions to this story most welcome.
