So on Monday, with the help of my professor, we developed my solar plate. It was very much a learning experience, not only for myself but for my professor as well. As We were “troubleshooting” as he put it. Very expensive troubleshooting to say the least.

After developing the plate, the image appeared to very weak, it was the same for another girl in my class as well. We came to the conclusion that anything other than black stabilo pencils will not work for the solar plate process. The pigment is just too translucent on the glass and will not yield a good image.

Anyhow I’m retracing my images with a black pencil, and exposing another plate tomorrow.

I’m a lab tech over at the corcoran; as a fact- Attempt when exposing on a light table- You need to compensate for variables on the film, and as well with your pens. The best type of pen would be the Sharpie paint pens. Because they fill in dark and opaque; theres more light being blocked. Also, your exposure times may vary greatly. We do our exposures at 9-23 light units depending on film and if its photographic or line work.
