Are you making negatives for platinum printing? I would go back and
carefully check all of your steps. I have making digital negatives for
cyanotype using Dan's book and I haven't had that problem. What model of
Epson are you using? Did you apply a curve to the image after you adjusted
it in Photoshop? Mary Pat McNally
