Black and White Experiments

I decided to have a go at bleaching some black and white prints as I knew that it would work from the first time I bleached some old prints.
I had a bit of a nightmare with getting hold of some prints also. I'd ordered the first lot off Photobox and for this batch I went to Tesco and used one of their little kiosks. I didn't know there was a difference between the two (I thought that the Photobox printer was a larger scale kiosk) so I ended up with a bunch of prints that didn't want to absorb the bleach. I ended up ringing up loads of places round Manchester and going to Max Spielmann, Hobs and Entwistles to ask for scrap prints to test it on. I remembered a few years ago I'd got some large prints done at Asda so decided to bleach one and it actually worked! So I got myself down there and got a bunch of prints to do some last minute bleaching.
In all honesty, I am a bit disappointed how they turned out as they didn't quite have the same effect as the other prints. If I were to do this again, I would definitely use Photobox and do my research into the printers.
