Jack,

You post sounded so delecious I drooled on the keyboard and had to stop and dry it off. ;-)

I would tend to agree with your observation but must add that it depends, in my experience, on the paper you are using as some papers result in more contrast with cyanotype than others and incidentally different speeds as well. If found this out about a year ago when I did copious testing in preperation for a workshop I was supposed to teach that never panned out.

Since I missed a Christmas greeting to you as a result of drying out the keyboard let me wish you and all memebers of the list a very happy and glorious millenium!

 

Your friendly thursday listminder,

Bob Schramm
