Sometimes manufacturers sell the stuff in rolls but you have to ask.
I've been doing alt or Historical print from cirkut camera negs and
have found a great paper for van dyke and cyanotype called ANW
drawing and framing. It comes in 60" by 10 yard rolls and has great
contrast with van dyke.My negs are up to 110" by 16" and the biggest
problem is getting an even coat. Works well with cyanotype too. I
believe Cranes (or someone) bought out ANW and makes the product
under the ANW name. The last batch I got was about the same as before
cranes takeover of the product. Hope this helps- You really have to
ask around for the specialty items .
