Hi Marek,

What about PY35? Have you used it? Could that pass over cyanotype w/o dulling it too much? (My preferred colors are the same for cyan and magenta and I'm currently using benzimidazolone yellow - which is very light and transparent but not so good for nice greens...)

I'm going to try it myself but it would be nice to hear other's experience with it.

TIA,
Loris.

I have certainly used this triad and it works fine producing rather vivid color combinations. Now, the yellow is somewhat opaque, so llikely best if applied first. It will somewhat dull the cyan layer if applied second. There is a number of very transparent yellows that work well and I have tested them, PY110 (can't remember what Daniel Smith calls this one) and PY150 (nickel azo yellow). The last one is a very intense yellow.
