The long and short of this is I want to use my marshall's oils to be able to oil a few black and white prints, its just the paper is of inferior quality to receive oil. Has anyone out there successfully been able to print off images from their home computer printers, or some store printer and received a print to which they can then oil at home? I have tried the basic matte papers from kodak that is sold in boxes in walmart and no success, I tried the glossy paper as well with no success. In the old days when there was high grade photo paper, oiling was easy. Now I am totally lost. Anyone out there have any success with hand oiling digital prints, if so what did you do?
