Cyanotypes of Black and Whites

[mmelvis]

Cyanotypes, Mike Ware Formula, of Black and Whites. Started contact printing and I am amazed what a cyanotype print can produce on Twinrocker handmade paper. Exposed for 13 minutes and bleached for 20 minutes in borax to tone down the blue. Prints from my 6x9 negatives








Comments and questions always welcome

I quite like the 2nd. A bit too fuzzy for my taste.

Excellent results - do you have a pointer to where the process is explained? I've been pondering something like this... maybe even doing enlargements via inkject printing on a transparency. I have some printing out paper somewhere that I meant to try out with a 6x9 contact print, but never got around to it.

really cool! how wonderful we have people like you who experiment and share with us. they look like suerat at a cointreau party! i really ilke them. over the long winter i experimented with the digital 'bleaching' process and got rewarding results, but a much much less rewarding process.

Exposing for a very large positive would take hours!!!

Very interesting results.
