Re: Herschel's Genius (was: terry king's website was searching for theelusive)

I was just curious to try some other variant of Herschel's cyanotype discoveries. And Maunder's article caught my eye.

Cyanotype Rex?
Rex is a latin word meaning - KING.

So, we are not talking about Cyanotype King at all.

All the best,

Milenko

    The process outlined in the AG article is not cyanotype rex. Michael Maunder does intend to market it as a kit being of educational interest. Michael did not claim it as a means for producing fine prints but a method of demonstrating that the iron processes can be very fast.

    The cyanotype rex is not quite so fast but it is intended to produce fine prints even in low light containing no UV.
