I use a canon pixma ix6820 printer with uv blocking ink from filmdirectonline.com. I adjust the negative to my liking in photoshop, but i dont bother with formulaic curve adjustments. I tried the canson xl paper, but it doesn't show the same detail in the mid tones as arches.

Thanks! Yes, this was the standard cyanotype process using Arches Aquarelle hot press paper. My 4x5 film negative was scanned and enlarged digitally in order to print at 12"x16". I don't print straight from film negative as I'm afraid the UV lights will degrade the image.
