Digital Cyanotype

For the past 25 years I have been able to pursue photography endeavors without the use of a darkroom. An Apple G4 with a GCC laser printer was used for most of the negatives ised here, but the original machine I started these investigations on was a Macintosh IIci with a Personal LaserWriter. It has been great to be able to continue to print photographs in an economical way that is friendlier to the environment than silver based photography. I have a course outline whichwas used when I got the opportunity to teach the materials I have created. Film grain will never be replaced by dot patterns, but as modern day CMYK printing illustrates, many line screens are hardly distracting and often unnoticeable to the untrained eye. With the proper choice of paper, the dots completely disappear and an enjoyable, tangible keepsake results.

reves BFK, but most watercolor and printmaking papers work well.
