I managed to buy a few packs of ORWO Universal paper, similar to that used and recommended by Ken Hill at the RPS Bromoil<\/a> event back in November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now it turns out there’s are multiple versions of ORWO Universal paper! Ken hadn’t elaborated, specifically to which he was using. Universal is Universal, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is Universal BN 117.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

B = Baryta layer, N = Normal grade, 1 = Double weight, 1 = Bright white surface and 7 = surface\/finish type??<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

I received seven packs of 25 sheets 13x18cm. There are no instructions inside the packaging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed with the usual Ilford PQ Universal, acid stop bath, and non hardening Ilford Hypam fixer.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

I used the remainder of my Gilbert’s Bleach\/Tan solution at 1:10 at 20\u00b0 for ten minutes, then re-fixed and dried.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

There’s a little ghosting in the matrix, and some sheets did not bleach as well as others in certain areas. maybe old paper or just old chems?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Usual set up with Graphic Chemical black inks. The paper took ink well, but nowhere near the same subtleties as back in November. That was instantly “Oh, I can see how this is working”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This version took some work. Granted, I could have taken more time prepping the ink, but I don’t think that was the issue.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

From what I can remember, Ken only used a short soak time pre inking. I can’t remember exactly, but maybe 3 minutes? I’ll have to have a play, as that wasn’t working so well for me.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Another example, but something wasn’t quite right. My eyesights not as good as it used to be, but I could make our some sort of pattern in the paper structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Close up of the pattern in the paper finish.  The 7 in the paper code must relate to it somehow? Whatever it is, I’m not a fan.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

If anyone would like a pack to have a go with, just drop me a line to sort something out. I’ll not be using all of it. It was more out of curiosity and being able to repeat Kens’ workflow from November.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
