RE: Rough Early Mid-Tones and Highlights
Hi Michael, it seems that you have to change your paper (since it doesn't work good with other iron processes too)... Which paper are you using? BTW, try New Cyanotype too -> IME, it gives better tonal gradation / highlights than you get with the classic formula. (Use 1 drop 40% Citric Acid per ml of sensitizer for papers that cause problems with New Cyanotype...)

It's not my negative, they're also rough on my stouffer wedge too. 20, 30, 40 per cent are consistently mottled and rough while 50 per cent onward are nice and smooth. I'm using 50:50 A 20%:B 10%. Thx. ~m
