Cannot recommend Arches Aquarelle, BW photo paper
and some Canson papers. My favourite is a no-name
100% cotton rag paper about 120lbs. Really more papers will work than be
unsuitable.

Subject: paper for cyanotype or other alt processes

OK, guys; below is the list I have compiled of papers for cyanotype. I have
culled these from every book and post I have ever checked on cyano. My
question: has anyone NOT had a good experience with any of these? Which
one? What did it do? I know, Don Bryant, you did not like Fabriano Uno,
and I am wondering why it did not work for you. I have now tested 7
Japanese papers, and also Crane's platinotype, Fabriano Uno and Artistico,
Arches Aquarelle and another one. Of these, two of the Japanese papers
disintegrated in the wash, but 5 were wonderful, especially the really thin
onion skin-y gampi. Tremendously strong albeit very hard to coat--I would
lay it on top of the sensitizer in a tray, I think, because it rolls up on
the rod, and a brush makes it mush together while coating unless you really
taped it down well.
