Re: Taming Fabriano Artistico (Trad. White) for Cyanotype
Yes, indeed. On the other hand I remember that you were quoting Dick Arentz; oxalic acid treatment + double coating... With all my respect I don't agree with double coating -> I've seen / done nice Pd prints with just one coating that were pretty dark in the blacks. Double coating is just too costly (especially when considering I have to import the material) to justify the marginal advantage. I'd change paper instead of double coating. There's the technique of diluting the coating solution with water 1:1 and coat the paper in two passes (for more even application with lots of moisture trapped in paper) but even then there's the fact that double coating introduces problems other than being costly -> like paper abrasion...
