VAN DYKE printing is a process invented in the 1840s and is named for the brown color which is similar to shades found in works by Flemish Baroque artist Anthony van Dyck. It involves painting fiber paper with developer, using a contact printer with a large scale negative or botanicals, and exposing the paper under a UV light. These works were exposed for 2 minutes, washed for 5 minutes, fixed for 5 minutes, and washed again for 5 minutes.
