WELLINGTON B.B. Paper is a new paper, intermediate
in speed between WELLINGTON Bromide and S.C.P., but
differing from both in that it gives an image of a fine warm black.
Prints on B.B. Paper possess an indefinable note of distinction
which appeals strongly to artistic workers.
B.B. Paper is manipulated in much the same way as the
WELLINGTON Bromide and requires a similar negative. A
list of the various grades in which it is made will be found on page 7 1
For daylight working WELLINGTON P.O. P. (a gelatino-
chloride print-out paper) will be found excellent. The image prints
out visibly under the action of light, and by gold toning any tone
from red to warm black can be obtained. WELLINGTON
P.O. P. is made in a variety of tints and surfaces, and is especially
suited to toning in the Ammonium Sulphocyanide Bath. Thick
P.O. P. manufactured in glossy, matt and carbon surfaces, is a charm-
ing paper for small work from snap-shot negatives, etc., as it does
away entirely with the necessity of mounting, and, unmounted,
stands a lot of handling. Carbon P.O. P. has that very fine semi-
matt surface usually associated with a carbon print.
For those who prefer a print-out paper, but wish to avoid the
trouble of toning, WELLINGTON SELF-TONING P.O.P.
will be found highly suitable. This paper contains within itself
the compounds necessary for toning, and requires only to be fixed
in an ordinary hypo bath.
Mention must be made in conclusion of the many Thick or
Double-weight grades of Bromide, S.C.P. and B.B. Paper. These
papers give fine results when printed with a wide margin and left
unmounted, a method of treatment which is not only cheap and
simple, but often highly artistic.
This type of paper is very suitable for Christmas cards, ball
programmes, menus, etc., and can also be obtained in the form
of post-cards, printed on the back in the usual way.
