Thanks a lot, but I don't think I deserve this. I suppose those who have
writen about the cyanotypes fading with UV light did it based upon their
own experience and experiments.

I guess this is a question of different methods, so I enforce you to
make the same test I did and share your experience with the rest of the
list. So, to open up the forum let me state the materials I worked with:

Potass ferricyanide ............. 70 grms
Ferric Amonium citrate (green)...160 grms
Water to.........................100 cc

The water was taken right from the tap in Madrid, Spain. We feel very
proud of the water we have.

I used Guarro Basic acuarela paper.

Waiting for your comments, best regards,

Jaime
