My first suggestion would be cyanotype. You can get precoated
paper under the "Sunprint" name at..Toys R Us?
You can mix it from scratch easily as well. The separate
parts A & B keep pretty well and are amazingly cheap.
There are also a variety of other sensitized materials
available from Blueprints Printables in the SF Bay Area.

Processing is basically just a water rinse at the most basic
end. If more complexity or control are desired, you might
employ citric acid or vinegar to change range, peroxide to
speed to oxidation process, etc.
