I don't think there is one correct formula for anything, just working formulas.
Is there only one correct way to prepare fried eggs ;-) ?
The book "Cyanotypes" by Mike Ware is a wonderfull reference by the way. I guess most of you have it already.
Cheers,
Philippe

|Good morning, group!
|I've checked a bunch of books for the formula for traditional
|cyanotype, and
|the amount of FAC and pot ferri tend to vary. Am I correct in
|assuming that
|the greater the amount of FAC, the faster the formula, and the greater
|amount of pot ferri, the more contrasty? Is there one correct
|formula, and
|if so, what is the best one to use? I am currently using
|Ware's formula, on
|Japanese paper, and have had some fun results, but thought I
|would also test
|it against the traditional formula. And, as is usual, I cannot find my
|issue #5 of Post Factory, which is the cyano issue if I'm not mistaken.
|Judy, can you buy a back issue and for how much? I know I lent it to a
|student but of course cannot remember which one. I keep making that
|mistake.
|Chris
