Have Pinsta for few month. One of the step i was figuring how is remove exceesive water from fiber base paper, at the field, before i put it in drying frame. I try AP darkroom squeezer ; PVA sponge , not work very nicely
End up my friend give me some Chinese ink calligraph paper to try (宣紙 / xuan paper / rice paper). It work really well !
It is thin, light weight, absorb water really well. (it is deaign for ink with large brush)
It is smooth . I can warp the photo put pressure on front and back. nothing stick on photo even i press it hard.
And it dry quickly. By the time i finish 2nd short, the same paper is ready to do it work again.
Hi! Thanks for sharing your experience with paper and water removal — it’s really helpful to know which types of fiber-based papers work best. I’ve been exploring ways to streamline workflow and efficiency in other fields, and it reminded me of how important automation can be for managing complex processes.
For example, in business operations, platforms like Automated Accounting Solutions can save a lot of time and reduce errors by handling repetitive accounting tasks automatically. Just like the right paper makes your workflow smoother in the darkroom, using a well-designed automated system can make accounting and financial management much more efficient, letting you focus on the creative or critical parts of your work.
