Its the hot press stuff that Frabriano discontinued a few years back. I know it worked very well orginally for my vandykes. What I'm using now is the stuff from Bostick and Sullivan that Mateo uses. So I have no idea about the acid content. It comes in 22x29 inch sheets.

what's the entry requirements? Are people willing to accept a 4x5 cyanotype in exchange for their masterpieces?

[Jim Moore]

Count me it too

Thanks,
Jim

AFAIK they are fine Nige...would love to see some of your work in alt. process. Can not speak for anyone else, but find the 4x5 - 5x7 size perfect for this, last one I sent out was 5x7 ziatype, the next may be plt or pld toned VDB in either 4x5 or 5x7.

Aggie, I have some of the Fabriano Artistico that I picked up (it was labeled as Fabriano Uno but the watermark shows artistico, sigh) and had very little luck with it with VDB....then talked with Jeremy and he said it probably needed an acid bath. So will treat some and give it another try.

Peter, I have recieved 3 prints but was in two groups! We did Say into mid-Decemeber so we've a while to go and people are talking about when they will have prints out in the round one thread. I hope we get a 100% exchanges but appreciate there may be reasons why people are late - especially at this time of year - in hindsight one to avoid in the future maybe. The only sanction for any that do not exchange is to preclude them from participation in the future but I am not sure what the APUG guidelines are - one of the moderators might be able to answer that - but as I've said there is time yet and I believe we are a good lot

All the best, Carl

The APUG guidelines are pretty silent on the issue of non-exchangers. It's up to the organizers to pay attention and to weed out the repeat offenders.

Personally, I don't keep track of who didn't send me a print. I send mine out (not always on schedule, but eventually they do make it out), and I seem to get a good number back, but I don't take it personally or get too bent out of shape if someone doesn't reciprocate. Such is life.
