Note: I initially posted this in the exposure group, and somebody suggested that I post it here.
Im looking to start alternative processes, beginning with cyanotypes, and perhaps going beyond that.
My plan is to use a halogen work light as a UV source.
From what I understand, the output of these varies over the life of the lamp, and even to some extent of the duration of a printing session, which seems to call for a UV light meter.
Does anyone have a suggestion for a reliable light meter that is not too expensive? (a relative term, I know.)
Is it possible to save any significant money by trying to make a DIY version wthout sacrifgicing reliability?
And does anyone have any thoughtds as to whether here would be a better choice for a light source?
