I was doing a quick classic cyanotype print to verify a paper (Schut Laurier) indeed works on this process. I knew it did as I’ve used it before in this capacity, but I just wanted to make sure before recommended it. This also create the opportunity to plot the response curve, and since I had a salted paper print on my desk as well, a comparison is easy enough to make!

Ogling curves – Comparing salted paper, Van Dyke and DAS carbon
Earlier today I posted a blog with analysis of curves and especially hues of salted paper prints. I mentioned a comparison of curve shapes with some other processes as well, and since that’s fairly easy to do, I thought I could follow up on it right away. In this brief blog, let’s have a look at the H/D curves of salted paper, Van Dyke and DAS carbon.

Last night I felt like doing a salt print. Why not do some measurements on it? Just having fun with the photospectrometer, really! And sometimes, just playing can give some insights. Perhaps a surprise, here and there?
