I have been looking for some information on making paper for
cyanotypes. I know that an additive is used to make the paper strong enough
to withstand the washing required in the cyanotype process. I have one book
that recommends a commercial product( I don't have the information here but
it was called something like "Hercules"??). No one here seemed to know this
product and the book does not give any alternatives. So if any one could
help with this it would be appreciated.
While I'm asking for help I have another request. Does any one have
hands on experience toning cyanotypes. Most books talk about toning and
supply formulas but they are vague about the results. I've tried two
methods and one had no effect and the other produced a lifeless brown. Does
any one have a formula that they like to use to get away from Prussian
blue.
