The Big Paper Survey

You can finally share your experience of all those hours in the darkroom - and learn from others.

Please let us know which papers or surfaces you find work best for the process you are using. People will benefit from this information and you can read what other artists think. The results will be displayed on the site for everyone to share.

1. Send us info on as many of the processes below as you can or add your own if the process you're working in is not listed in this format.
Example:
-Argyrotypes: Works: Fabriano artistico, hot-pressed paper
-Argyrotypes: Doesn't work well: Winston and Newton papers (also try to motivate why if you want).

2. Email us your answers.

3. The result can be seen here. That's it.

Many thanks.
