FAQ
What alternative printing processes does Drop Calculator support?
Drop Calculator is designed for processes where emulsion components are measured in drops, including cyanotype, platinum/palladium, kallitype, and any other similar methods. It allows for customization to fit various specific needs within these processes.
Can I adjust the drop count for different paper types or coating methods?
