Guy:
You don't need a darkroom to do cyanotypes. Cyanotypes are sensitive to
ultra-violett (UV)light. They are not sensitive to normal room light.
Its possible to prepare and handle cyanotype paper under incandescent
light (must be a little cautious with flourescent - some tubes will emit
some UV light)
To do cyanotype one can place the negative and paper in a contact printing
frame under room light and take it out into the sun for a few minutes.
You can judge the exposure by the change in color of the paper.
To process it you soak it in a tray of water for a few minutes. Done!
Much the same can be done for many of the alternative processes. Salt
prints are the next easiet. They are a gorgeous warm brown tone.
Developed in water - they must be fixed in a dilte fixer and washed.

Hi Jim,
I looked at you site a few days ago and thought that the printer was neet.
Looks cool! I guess this whole kit could be used for cyanotypes as well.
Cheers,
Guy

Hi folks,
The details of a simple and inexpensive daylight contact printer for black
white papers can now be found on my website on the page named 'Look, No
Darkroom!' Now you can really make BW prints without a darkroom. Actually,
you can teach a whole course this way, with the exception of using an
enlarger to change the image size. However, that's easy with a scanner and a
computer these days.
Enjoy,
