- The Light Factory Photographic Arts Center
- The Cyanotype is part of a group of processes that include the palladium
print, the platinotype and the kallitype. The common element is that these
are all iron salt processes, hand-applied emulsions that allow the
adventurous to try a variety of surfaces and tones. With relative ease,
anyone can produce these hardy, low-cost options to contemporary printing

- Expose the instant film. Don't pull it through the rollers yet. Different
techniques can be used to expose an image onto Polaroid film. When the
exposure is made in the camera, a 20cc Red or 30cc Magenta filter with an
increase in exposure of 1/2 stop is recommended. Another method is to shoot
onto positive transparency film, then project the image onto Polaroid film.
This can be done with a Polaprinter, a Vivitar Instant Slide Printer, a
Daylab II Slide Printer, an enlarger equipped with a color head
