Re: Question about Masa paper
Hi Loris, You have a Masa convert on your hands! I liked your tree cyano on Masa a lot! Questions: How much exposure does Masa need in minutes? Do you expose till you get the shadows to go grey-green? What do you use for coating the emulsion? Any problem with crinkling of paper and how do you address this? What is your experience, if any, with doing cyano on the smooth side? Thanks a lot.

It works with Cyanotype without any additional sizing - can't speak for gum...

Did you size it before printing or just used it unsized?

It's hard to find a really smooth surface that's also easy to coat.A third reason to consider this paper: it's 69 cents a sheet. kt
