I have been working with cyanotypes for years – focusing on garden images. This display is quite inspiring and encourages me to think about these works from a different prospective.

What is the best paper to use in making a paper negative for a cyanotype print? In other words I wish to make a contact print from a paper negative like an architectural drawing. What is the best/least costly paper to use?

I am attempting to obtain catalog order forms from Edward R. Hamilton for my nephew who does not have access to a computer or a copy machine. I requested these forms approximately 3 weeks ago and have not received a response. My nephew has the catalogs; however, he has already used the order forms provided. I have not been able to find a form on the internet. Please help me.

For Emulsion lifts can we use any kind of water color paper. Like if I don’t have time to go to the arts and craft store just to my College’s campus bookstore. would that be alright?

Comment on Cyanotype – the classic process by Cathy Ferguson

Cathy Ferguson — Thu, 25 Apr 2013 04:18:31 +0000

I have old cyanotypes that I made 30 years ago. They are fading. Someone told me that if I put them in the sunlight the blue would darken. Has anyone tried this? Someone else told me that if I put them in the dark they would darken – completely the opposite advice. I could experiment but I don’t want to damage the old images.
Any ideas? Thanks

Comment on The liquid emulsion process by Wayne Harrison

Wayne Harrison — Wed, 24 Apr 2013 15:47:50 +0000

I recently used some Liquid light emulsion that has been sitting in my fridge for over 3 years. I have had good success with it before, but this time, every time I tried the emulsion kept washing off. What is the most likely reason: old emulsion? wash bath too warm? I used an acid stop bath? not enough fixing time? There are a lot of variables to change and I am wondering which is the most likely culprit. The contrast seems okay, so I didn’t think the age of the emulsion was the problem. Any ideas?
