Hi Bob

Have a look at Jalo's article here http://www.alternativephotography.com/wp/paper/tests-in-blue-papers-for-cyanotypes and also here http://www.alternativephotography.com/wp/processes/cyanotype/the-big-cyanotype-exposure-survey-results

All the best

I've owned a custom digital printing lab for the last 15 years (colorfolio.com) but have recently started doing alt process work on my own images - guess I feel need to clear my palette from all the digital-only work I do for others.

I'm working from digital negs so that part is relatively familiar for me with my background - but I'm new to all the issues related to chemistry, papers, etc on the backend. Using a nuarcs for uv exposure.

Been following with interest the discussion of Masa paper - my wife is a painter and uses it all the time. A friend who has tried it for pt/pd printing says there are different kinds and he has not had success with them. So I'm curious to find out from those recommending it where they purchased theirs and/or what kind of Masa paper it is. Also, do you print on the smooth or rough side?
