It looks gorgeous TriTran!

Well done, Tri! The background works very well with the still life...and a nice rich color.

Largest I have done for myself has been 7x17 and 11x14, though I helped a student with a 16x20 a long while back.

Thanks Filippo.
Thanks Vaughn,
Beyond the 14x17 is quite challenging. it's completely a whole new workflow . It can be real messy if we don't plan things right. Both technique and mechanical work. I'm very happy with the tone and the relief especially when it dried.

Nice print, Tri. And you did a great job in controlling contrast with the lith negative.

Now you need a big Howtek scanner so you can scan those 20X24" negatives and make even larger carbon prints!

Tri -- those larger prints require longer arms!

Toned Cyanotype

[Pfiltz]

Yummy images...

I'll be trying to do my first Cyanotype's next week, after my chems come in. I don't have the paper yet either. My question is are you scanning in your 4x5's or other film, and then scaling up the image and printing that to some type of transparency to serve as the emulsion for the print?

I just use the original negative. I can make digital negatives if my negative is screwed up in terms of contrast or the wrong size. But it's usually best to keep it simple and use the actual 4x5 negative. Put a piece of mylar over it if you're worried about it contacting your coated paper.
