The process involves mixing sodium chloride, citric acid, tapioca starch and a ton of egg whites with another coat of silver nitrate for the sensitizing. For my final project I decided to print on some thin birch wood. The process was very fun but time consuming. Took about 8 hours to get four 5×7 wood prints and about 10 other test prints on hotpress papers. I’ll definitely be experimenting with this process more in the future as I was very pleased with the outcome especially with the wooden ones. Check out pics after the break.
