tammy: i wonder if it has to do with the chemistry of the water where you live… i’m not sure why else the paper would behave differently for different people. hmm.

I tried with and without lemon juice. I also tried leaving the paper in the sun longer, that seemed to help a bit. The pictures would look fine until I started putting water on the paper, then they would almost disappear and after drying not really come back. I guess I’ll keep trying and see what happens, I have a whole pack to use up. Thx!

hmm, i’m not sure. we didn’t do anything special except for what it said on the package, but i did add in a few drops of lemon juice (as the package said) for more vibrant prints. maybe try that, tammy?
