Hi Birdie.

 

I recently have been using the New Cyanotype kit that Photographers fomulary puts out and I use a resporator and gloves and the usual.  I do it in my basement where the light is nice and dim and the ventalation is good.  The new kit is good b/c the blue colours are a bit brighter and punchier.  The problem is that this kit contains more chemicals then the first kit did.  I would wear a repirator when handling the new cyanotype kit.

> 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.
