Don they look very good and encourages me to move forward, I hope to be able to see them this year when I visit with Sandy.
I would also like to send you some separated film for your opinion about my film output from the lambda.


Bob,

Essentially I use the same method for making gum prints as Christina Anderson does. Here style of printing is much different than mine and I think her work is much more imaginative. I strive for ultra smooth coatings and I trim off the brush strokes while Chris maybe more prone to incoporate wabi sabi effects.

I'll send you a few scans tomorrow, today I'm recovering from an emergemcy root canal. Wish I had a website but I don't.

No mask is generated for detail or contrast. I usually print from CMY separations instead of CMYK seperations.

Bob,
What material are you using in the lamba, i had very little success with Fujiclear for making negs.

Bob,

Let me send you a copy of the Ole Moire File. If one can print this one accurately then one can do most anything they want to do. I'm definitely interested in the Lambda negs, I owe Burkholder a print, his Katrina HDR work would be a challenge. I'll e-mail you later.

I've been working on tri color gum for the last several months using PDN for the negs. I have found that the curves and the colors are different for each of the colors although the cyan and magenta are pretty close. I'm finding that even with PDN I have to hand tweak the curves to try to get a neutral linear grey scale. I feel that after several months of testing colors, dilutions, papers and all the other variables that I am very close to where i need to be. I DO want to reproduce a 3 color grey scale accurately so that i know what my print will look like. (more or less)
I think the reason to bother with doing an ICC profile of the process is mostly to use it as a soft proof when preparing the file for separations. There may be some benefit to actually converting to that profile before making separations but I have not tested that yet. I first feel like i need to nail the greyscale for that work to be useful.

Just curious to inquire if you have met your goals yet?

I am currently using Rollie ISO 25 ortho, which works wonderfully.
I am going to buy Ilford Ortho 25 in the next ULF run, just waiting for pricing.
