My new toy arrived today, a Speedball diazo exposure kit. I was pretty excited to explore the proof of concept. The FedEx transparencies weren't very transparent (the ones we use at work are generally 2.5-3.5 density unites, and my copy machine ones were barely .70du. Copier paper is denser. Because they used a scanner, the FedEx transparencies were also half-time. I've been studying solutions to the issue, if they turn out to be not opaque enough.
Turns out, I had nothing to worry about. A 5 minute exposure with the 250w lamp, and I appear to have nailed it on the first try.
I'm just waiting for the screen to dry before the BIG TEST.....!
And here we are! I have to admit, this was a big surprise. I promise, there are a lot of big surprises coming!
