[alt-photo] Re: cyanotype [Triangle]

[Diana Bloomfield]

Well, if the students used their paper fairly quickly, then my bet is  
still on the type of paper used.  Humidity just doesn't do that, not  
in my experience anyway-- but-- as you know-- papers can and do give  
such vastly different results.  If you had another paper to try out  
with it, that would be helpful.
