Once our shipment gets here from the states, and then once I have some kind of
darkroom again, this may be useful as I have a decent amount of 8x10
lith/ortho film that may work w/this method. I sold my 4x5 but kept my 8x10
camera reasoning that if a darkroom isn't forthcoming in the immediate future
here, I could conceivably do contact printing in cyanotype/van dyke etc.
Unfortunately the shipment, all 3000+lbs of it, won't be here till 7/15 and
then there's customs etc to get it through. :( I guess the upside is this will
give me time to find suppliers here.

Speedy:
thanks for the information and the link. Got a roll of another type of film in
the camera right now but will reload it with Ortho film soon and reshoot and
develop with your times.

OK,
I found the web page I mentioned in an earlier post.
The recommendations from that page for this film are as follows:
Rated ISO 6, HC-110, 1:200, 14 minutes at 25 degrees Celcius, agitations for
the first minute and then every 2 minutes.
Here is a link to the page (cut and paste if the link does not pass)

In the comments section there are also a couple of links to other
photographer's work with this film.
Looks very interesting!
