I have been trying to do some Bulino. I am using a No. 0 Onglet with no heel and a four sided little prick punch for dots. In both cases the result looks like a photo negative. The cuts and dots reflect too much light or something. What should be dark appears light except from 1 very specific viewing angle. I tried stoning it flat and I put some cold blue on them but neither had much effect.

What might I be doing wrong?

Without seeing it I would guess you are just cutting it too light. Reduce your magnification. I do not like a Onglet graver for bulino. Some of the best engravers like a 120° graver for bulino.
