[alt-photo] Paper Negatives

[Doug Taylor]

Paul,

I've not made paper negatives before but did look at Peter's website  
and his work is very nice. Which Epson paper is used and which side of  
the paper negative is waxed? Also, do you use QTR to calibrate the  
negative for the alt process? Any input to get me started would be  
helpful. I have made digital negatives before and used them to print  
cyanotype and palladium prints.

Thanks,

Doug
