Bob,
I am using Mike Ware's cyanotype formula chemistry to 'proof' negatives
from a Zero 2000 pinhole camera (120 rollfilm, 6cmx6cm) I got from the
Pinhole Resource- a neat camera. I'm using Crane's Platinotype I got from
B+S. I'm not having any problems. The intensity of blue is very good. After
exposure, I put the print into a weak solution of hydrochloric acid (10ml in
1liter of water) for 30 seconds to 'set' the color as per Mike's instructions
in his book. Then I wash in my vertical archival print washer for 20 minutes.
I believe I got the chemicals from the Photographer's Formulary and mixed
them myself. My sensitizer solution is now easily 6 months old. The
Hydrochloric acid came from them as well and is a 31% solution. I have Mike's
book, which I highly recommend. I think I ordered it from Amazon.com. Also, I
am not sizing the paper or using Tween. Hope this helps. Cheers. Charlie
