Actually John I had the impression the "new" cyanotype was *more*
sensitive to impurities in paper, tho that may have been a misreading of
something you said. However, in my experience "old" cyanotype is nearly
omni-paperous.
But I have to laugh, laugh, laugh, when you say "it's all about making
art". It should only be so simple (say those of us seduced by the siren
song of process -- and whoever isn't may be missing more than they've
escaped).
I seem to be in the majority, for once, who have found cyanotype
well-behaved, even exemplary, but I have also had a serious commitment to
the law of cause and effect. What is going on here? The only other
thought I can come up with (pending actual testing, which I hope will be
soon, but who knows if then?) is --- what is your light source?
Cheers,
Judy
