14x17 Toned Cyanotype From XRAY Negative

Very nice: I've never seen a 14x17 camera up close—it's obviously quite a beast! That's a lot reciprocity compensation—typical of x-ray film (with which I have no experience) I imagine. Is the small defect a coating issue?

I will be watching later tonight. I always look forward to seeing your process. The tri colour prints your friend the painter are marvelous. I've found that good YouTube videos like your's are quite relaxing

@Ben 4 I slapped this camera together myself about 14 years ago... I don't really think of it as a real 14x17 ...but it'll do. I wish I had at least one more film holder, though. They are just too darn expensive! So, one will have to do for now... The reciprocity correction isn't too bad. I've used some pan films that are worse!
I'm not sure where that flaw in the print came from, but I noticed it right when I started coating the paper. I've noticed some weird things happening with this new batch of Revere Platinum that I just got... We'll see how it goes. If there are more similar issues, then I'll go back to Hahnemuhle. Cheers!

…and you made the bed large enough to rest your coffee cup on!

@Ben 4 I should have drilled a hole for a cup holder...
