ndg, How long does it take to tone that lightweight paper? I imagine it tones quickly?

An hour.

For whatever reason, coffee stains more than tea, but it's a good color in my mind. Looks like it's a little more torn and tattered from an hour soaking!

I worked with it the whole time while it was on a sheet of plexi.
Everything was fine till I went to take it out of the coffee toner. I wasn't careful and it slipped off the plexi. It was downhill form there.
I think I'll stick to using watercolor paper for cyanotypes and keep my Gampi paper for gravure and intaglio work.
It was fun though.

Hendrik, great image as usual. Your work always motivates me to keep at it but the process is so challenging!

ThankYou very much tOaster, and ndg - I appreciate your judgement.
Process is not fully controllable with lowtec- equipment, as I have.

Hendrik, using asphalt really gives the prints great tones. Keep up the good work.

Doug, very well done! Which type of Gampi did you use?

[Doug Howk]

Thanks, ndg.
I used TOYO Gampi from Hiromi Paper Co.. It's weight is 24 g/m2.
