The company that makes Inko Dyes was around last year (Screen Process I
believe is the name) when I bought Inko Dyes from them via mail order. (I
don't live near California.)

I don't have the phone number handy but would be happy to go look for it if
someone needs it (just email me).

I've had mixed success wiht Inko Dyes in terms of brightness of color and
getting white whites. Could be that I didn't wash hard enough (I'm used to
prining cyanotpye on fabric). But I plan to try again. Lack of popularity
among photographers? Dunno, but I notice from being on this list a few
years that more folks are interested in printing on paper rather than on
fabric. And Inko Dyes do not work very well on paper, at least not in my
experience.

I've lost track of who originally asked about cyanotype on fabiorc -- it's
easy, you can use any natural fiber that has a tight weave (cotton,
silk...) and you keep it flat as you would for paper, using a piece of
glass (in my case for large pieces, a storm window).
