Re: 5x4 too small to contact print?

Hi:

I think everyone should try cyanotype :)

I agree that 4x5 can be a little small, but I've still made plenty of 4x5
contact prints.

If you want to try a printing out paper try Centennial Printing Out Paper
from Chicago Albumen works

http://www.albumenworks.com/printing-out-paper.html

If you want to try cyanotype the chemistry can be bought from a number of
suppliers.

Photographers formulary carry many kits including cyanotype
http://www.photoformulary.com/alterpro.htm

Artcraft chemicals have good prices, but don't package things as kits,
though they will custom make a kit if you provide a formula
 http://www.artcraftchemicals.com/

Bostick and Sullivan carry kits as well

http://www.bostick-sullivan.com/main/alt_kits_page.htm

many other suppliers as well.

Be carefull though, if you do cyanotype you'll soon want to try
salted-paper, albumen, gum-bichrmate etc... :)
