The Lawrence Hall of Science Store has some VERY simple sun print
products.

While these are aimed mainly at kids and their teachers, it might be a
good low-stress way to start out. I've done many workshops for
elementary school kids with this stuff and it works beautifully. It
tends to be slower and more contrasty than "real" cyanotype as I
remember though.

Hello All:

I am new to the list and just starting out with cyanotypes. In the
Alternative Photographic Process FAQ, Solargraphics is mentioned as a
source of ready-made cyanotype paper. I would like to try this out and

when I called their number I got a recording that it is disconnected.
Does anyone have information as to the whereabouts of this company, and

if they are out of business, does anyone have another source. Also, has

anyone tried these papers and if so, what were the results. Is this
something worth pursuing or should I just go to sensitizing my own
paper
right away?

I am not lazy, I just thought it was a n easy way to experiment with
the
process and get my feet wet. I fully intend to go the whole route very
soon.

Thanks in advance for any help and I am looking forward to all the
great
topics of discussion on this list!
