Re: Taming Fabriano Artistico (Trad. White) for Cyanotype



Loris,

What do you meant by oxalic acid causing a gritty surface? Do you mean
the print is gritty or that the paper is no longer as smooth? I've
used it to pre-treat Fabriano Artisitico Extra White Hot Press and
Rives BFK and none of my prints show this with pt/pd or traditional
cyanotype. Is there an interaction with the New Cyanotype that causes
this?
