By "uniformly bad" do you mean you got the same results? If so, I would
say you're on the right track with the Platine. Once you can get
consistent results, you can make minor changes to your
exposure/development/chemistry/etc. to get the desired print.
You said it looked good before development; in my experience, cyanotypes
shouldn't look good before development. They usually have a disgusting
yellow/puke green color to them. The blue tones develop out in the water.
My guess is you're underexposing. Try upping the exposure and see if
that helps.
Good luck,
