I received a request for a linen canvas textured portrait. Is there a way to texture a wet print through the use of a screen placed in contact with the damp emulsion and then placed in a dry mount press under pressure and low heat until the print dries? I seem to remember that some photofinishers used to provide texturing during the drymounting of some color prints and just wonder if there are texturing screens that could be used on fiber based gelatin surfaces.

The moral is, a little communication, an informed client and a willingness to listen, will resolve almost any difficulty.
paint cyanotype emulsion and bleach it back with washing soda so it isn't blue
After that it needs to be 'toned' in tannic acid (or the tea of your choice). It is said than tannin toned 'types will fade/revert to blue/turn into pumpkins but I had one stapled to the railing on the back deck for an entire summer with no ill effects. Cyanotypes are one of the most archival processes as the image is made of Prussian Blue pigment.
