[pure-silver] Re: Typical Printing Waste

Hi Elias:

I do not use any fancy equipment and it usually takes me from about 12
to 15 sheets before I have the first final print (assuming good negative
that does not require extensive dodging or burning).  I also do not use
test strips but use full sheets for that purpose.

Cheers,  - Andrew.

Subject: [pure-silver] Typical Printing Waste

Hi all,

I'm in the middle of printing an edition (a very small edition) and I'm
starting to count my wasted sheets...

It may be a silly question, but how many sheets are you (all) typically
using (note I refrained from saying "wasting") to get a print to where
you want it?

I'm sure learning to trust my methods and chemicals has a lot to do with
it.
Here's how last night went: Two test stips, and five working prints to
work out the over exposed detail in contrast to other shadows, burn in
tests, and two "finished" prints with different times so I can decide
what to do once I see them dry. 

Any thoughts?

Elias
