Definitely useful / helpful... As for > bleeding with FAEW; have you tried to acidify the paper? I get none or > very little (depending on exposure) with acidified FATW. BTW, I tried this with Masa before and found that 2A+1B diluted 1:1 with water gave a pretty pale print, "quickly". I haven't tested that with a step tablet, only with an image and can speak only according to the print I got... Also, with 1:1 diluted coating solution the ES was considerably shorter than usual. (Because I got a pretty flat print from a negative calibrated for undiluted 2A+1B.) I'm sure you already tried this and it contradicts with your (and Sam's and Henry's) findings -> so I wonder if it's my memory playing games? Will probably try this again, since I'm sure the full color/density of cyanotype is overkill for realistic or close to realistic color reproduction in tricolor gum -> so will have to suppress it somehow, and I'm sure your tests will be very helpful to me then.
