This discussion about bulbs has been interesting. Would it be worthwhile to
try aquarium lights for cyanotype? They are locally available, unlike the
BL lights.

I tried the Whatman's printmaking paper yesterday, which is supposed to have
a long scale. Oddly, it did the opposite of what the Crane's platinotype
did: that is, more intense UV light later in the morning seemed to make
*more* steps! More experimentation is in order. I did think it made a
softer, less contrasty print. But it is also a bit more textured.
