Thanks, Mike! The only thing annoying south of our border is "you know who".

Andy, Really enjoyed your video - as a "neophyte" gum printer I always pick up a few good ideas from your videos. Glad to see I am not the only one who gets the cyanotype too dark, it always takes me a few tries for a good print. How do you get your paper to be so flat? I am always struggling with a curl after drying. Thanks again - this is a real help to those of us who are just learning these alt processes. BTW the final prints looks great.

Thank you, Dave. Revere Platinum seems to keep fairly flat. I've also recently started putting a coat of diluted PVA on the backside of the paper, right after my shrinking procedure. This seems to help keep the paper more flat, but more so from keeping the paper from shrinking anymore...that's a lot of "mores"

Great! It will be interesting how the painter responds -- from some limited experience, they can be picky about color!
