I had a similar problem yesterday. I was printing cyanotype and the film
emulsion picked up fibers of paper (just the opposite behaviour than
Agustin's case). What can be the reason for that? a) Inadequate paper
drying time (it was bone dry to me)? b) Heavy handed brushing (double
coating)? c) High noon direct exposure? (the printing frame and glass
were burning) Is it possible that even well dried and lightly brushed
paper can stick to the negative? Why?
Cyanotype only related question: I noticed strange staining in some of
my prints (grainy, purplish when in water grayish when dry). What can be
the reason for that? See it @
http://abone.tnn.net/lorism/cyanotype-04.jpg (the upper left side of the
door? can you see the grainy appearance?)
