RE: a new (old) paper for New Cyanotype
I'll add: - Bergger COT320 (perfect in every sense!) - Weston Diploma Parchment (good. base is warm/off-white, gives the image a more green look + paper prints with a slight fog; add 1 drop of 40% citric acid per 10ml coating solution to fix this. paper is delicate in wet processing but it's very cheap!) - "Neutralized" Fabriano Artistico Extra White (paper won't work w/o neutralizing in 5% HCl or acetic acid, works perfectly after that. base color very compatible with cyanotype. very good for gumovers, so that it's worth the trouble.) - Masa (very good, base is cold white and very bright, goes well with new cyanotype, shows good dmax. it's a thin paper / delicate in wet processing but it's very cheap!)

WIth this process I have struggled getting papers to work. Previously I have used with some success: Arches Platine Ruscombe Mills Buxton Cranes Professional Presentation a Hahnemuhle Cover (from the close-out section of Freestyle) I'll post a link to a test image in a day or two.
