Arches Cotton. Paper is THE problem with Argyrotype. Most people give it a try and give up because thy can't find the right paper to make it stick. Read Mike Ware.
Christopher...that's beautiful. Cheat all you want ;-)
So, Arches cotton rag watercolor paper? That's probably the best argyrotype I've seen...is it toned at all?
Washed in 'distilled' water - very weak selenium tone (can't afford gold) for 30 secs - weak fix - long wash. I avoid tap water; the chlorine gives a muddy, faded look.

Nice, Vaughn...
Here are two examples of photopolymer gravure's.
the first is made using a scratched positive.
The second is made the same way, but I have also experimented a little with the exposure time when making the print plate (slightly underexposed, which can give interesting "faliures" on the plate.
(final coffee toning was added..)
