  1. whooo, I've done it! I've finally written up the blog post about the ink print process, an apparently forgotten positive black and white photographic process from 1880!

  6. ok, trying the ink print formula in camera for the first time today. obviously it's cloudy and raining today…

  11. ok, time for more #InkPrint bullshit. gonna first of all test the pH of all the different sensitizers and then also just stick them in my photoreactor to see what happens. Might also just check pre/post exposure reactions with different developers like ink print or cyanotype

  16. ok, all set up to test some more 1880s photo chemistry!

    Gonna test all my variations on the ink print process to see what's going on with that

  21. ok, more #InkPrint experiments. Prepared a bunch of new variations on the original recipe using different sources of Fe3+ (ferric chloride, ferric sulfate, and mixtures of both) and different acids (oxalic, citric, tartaric and maleic). Once I have the energy I'mma coat them onto some paper and do text exposures. I'm especially curious to see what's going on with the mix of ferric sulfate and ferric chloride in the original recipe and if that actually does something

  26. Wheeeeeee! That's a lot better! Could have probably exposed for a little longer but it's still really nice!

  31. ok, so, the diffuse light box definitely wasn't the ideal choice, barely any contrast there. probably also overexposed. maybe closer to 20 minutes would have been better?

    I think I'm gonna try this again with my remaining piece of paper and a spotlight this time to hopefully get something more interesting

  36. so, the original recipe works. It's pretty low contrast, mostly cause the concentration of the sensitizer is kinda low I think.
    Also, it's weird. I have so many questions. Why do they use both ferric sulfate and ferric chloride? Why not just one? If it's only about the Fe3+ there is no reason to use two different sources of it.
    Also, they use tartaric acid instead of citric acid. Apparently that's more sensitive?
    Also, I already know it doesn't work with oxalic acid because oxalic acid reduces the ferrogallate ink and makes it water soluble. (That's why I assume it's in the developer, to help clear the highlights?). But what about other acids like malic or maleic acid?
    Also also, I know the usual ammonium ferric citrate doesn't work since that results in some kinda soluble ammonia ferrogallate complex forming, so the image just floats away. But what about straight ferric citrate or ferric tartrate? That would make the sensitizer way less acidic and more friendly to work with.
