Hi. I used to be somewhat active in the former forum, about 8 to 10 years ago.

I need some suggestions: I just got gifted a big roll of color paper (RA4), exposed but in good condition. Long story short, someone decided to open a box to see what was inside.
What processes can you think of, other than chemigram, using this paper?

Thank you in advance

None, it's junk. Use it as covering for your floor when painting the walls.

Check to see if the inner part of the roll will yield unexposed sheets when the edges are cut off.

Hm....use it as cyanotype paper....the gelatin layer should you give a nice support and I believe that the color chemicals will not react with the cyanotype chemistry.

Considering it is a very big roll, it is possible. Thank you.

That's a good idea. I first considered as a support for carbon transfer, but cyanotype will be easier to try. Thanks.
