Dear All,
I am new to this list [as you all must already know :)]
Also I am a novice in Alternative Photography [actually, not even a novice -
yet to start!]
I am thinking of starting-off with a cyanotype [with my limited knowledge
from online articles etc.]...
Is this what you all would suggest? I have no background in chemistry...
Is there a simpler/less complex method to begin-with?
Can you point me to a good website where I can find highly detailed
procedure to help me make my first & "successful" print? :)
Also, I can't afford large-format negs.
I was thinking of making digital negs from commercial graphic houses.
[that would cost me INR 0.75 per sq. inch... you know, the ones used for
plate-making!]
However, reading the digital-neg process of oiling on the list, I thought I
would try that out as my first.
I have an HP Deskjet inkjet printer...
What do I do?:
1. Choose my image...
2. Change its size to desirable output[say 8'x10' @ 300 dpi]...
3. Turn-it to monochrome [black monochrome OR B/W]...
4. Invert it [neg effect]...
5. Print as Black Only...
6. Oil the print [which is the best oil to do this ?]...
7. Insert it in a clear-thin plastic cover/bag...
8. Make contact-print...
Voila!
Is this correct?
Where can I get best info on making oiled-digital-negs on an inkjet [what
paper, what oil, what resolution, etc.]?
Please HELP all you can...
Thanking you,
With Regards,
Paresh Pandit
Mumbai, IN.
