safakoncu asked: Hello, thanks for sharing all these valuable information with us. I just want to know how do you fix your paper on the blue film you use (looks like x-ray film to me) and how do you remove after print is done. Thanks again…

I make my negatives using Pictorico Ultra Premium OHP Transparency Film printed on an Epson 1400 printer.  I use cyanotype for the first layer which develops in water; followed by an emulsion of gum arabic, pigment and ammonium dichromate for the subsequent layers.  Hope this helps.  Tony
