Jean,
 
The cyanotype process is the least toxic of all the alternative processes. The small amount of
chemistry washed off you prints and diluted with water probably has less effect on the environment than the rinse water from your clothes washer or dishwasher . Stop feeling
guilty.

> Hello. I am somewhat virginal with regard to both computers and photography so please bear with me as far as my nievity goes. I have been printing images onto canvas using the single solution cynotype formula. I rinse the exposed canvas under my bathroom tap, so the run off goes down the sink. is this outrageously irresponsable in terms of the environment and personal health goes? Also, I have followed discussion regarding leaf prints and wondered if any body has had success. Thanks in advance for any assistance.
