>"The classic mathod is so easy that I have taught it to kids in infants
school."

Hear hear, you mean you teached them how to mix their sensitizer from dry
chemicals? In my view, having infant children playing with dry chemicals is
a very bad thing to do (even letting them coat their papers - I'd only make
them print on pre-coated/dryed papers)... If you didn't do so, then I'd like
that you describe what is more easy in classic cyanotype's modus operandi
compared to new cyanotype? Because I really don't understand it (I simply
don't see any difference). If you're insisting on the idea of using new
cyanotype is hard I kindly invite you to our beatiful Istanbul for a free
workshop on new cyanotype from me (satisfaction guaranteed). (And think of
many interesting places to see/photograph!)

>"Ferric ammonium citrate is a food additive and is usually easy to obtain.
One does not have to get one's chemicals from chemical suppliers."

I see that "Easy to obtain" became "usually easy to obtain" :) Can you
please enlighten me where I can locate Ammonium Iron(III) Citrate apart
chemicals suppliers and/or specialized photography suppliers? Spice stores?
Hehehe...

>"There is an immense difference between what one can achieve with cyanotype
and what one can achieve with gum."

Thank you for the useless clarification - hehehe...

Loris.
