| I dabble in Vandyke Browns and Cyanotypes. Currently got some cyanotype brewing in the cupboard (code for I've got some mixed I haven't used for a while!). I've also got some nice papers to use as a local shop was selling pads of it quite cheap. I had used 4x5" negs (as that's the only view camera I have) and enlarged inkjets 'neg' on OHP film for larger images. If doing this, you need a OHP media that the inkjet will dry on. There's a brand that specifically is for this but I can't think of the name. I used generic stuff and if you held the transparency film upright while waiting for it to dry, the ink would all run down the page! Not what I was wanting! If never truely dried either.
I have a couple of platium/palladium print I've received in print exchanges and they can be a thing of beauty! Also have a stunning cyanotype I received in a print-swap, much better than anything I'm managed (I use it as a reference to what's possible!!!)
