Comments on: About hand-colored photos http://bkpix.com Selling original hand-colored black and white photographs of the Northwest and elsewhere by Oregon photographer Bob Keefer Sat, 22 Nov 2008 08:12:28 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.2 By: Bob http://bkpix.com/about-hand-colored-photos/#comment-116 Bob Sat, 05 Apr 2008 20:22:35 +0000 http://bkpix.com/?page_id=3#comment-116 Hi Jennifer: I'm afraid I don't have an easy answer for you. The only surface I've been happy working on is old-fashioned fiber-based matte surface paper printed in a traditional darkroom. I've been interested in trying computer inkjet prints on watercolor paper with a solvent-based ink, but haven't explored that myself. Anyone out there have other suggestions? Bob Hi Jennifer:

I have enjoyed hand coloring as a hobby for a while now. Unfortunately I am no longer in college and do not have access to a darkroom anymore. Thus, my predicament is how can I get prints printed on paper that is conducive to hand coloring. I have tried using matte finishes from various labs and the results are not awful but are far from ideal. And, the only place I have found that has a good textured option is very pricey. If I did this for a living I could see spending the money. But, as this is just a hobby, I was wondering if you had any suggestions.
