Jacquard Cyanotype Sensitizer Set

Did photograms in the sun on a variety of papers. Took about 20 minutes outside in direct sunlight, but probably could have used less time.

I really like how simple it is to mix and apply the cyanotype solution. It worked well on paper and fabric. Im very happy with the results.

used watercolor and transferred drawings onto transparencies and printed some images and script on transparencies. Cool project.

I like this set, however I find it difficult to get the solution used up in a timely fashion and plan to get the powder in bulk next time. Would be great if you know you are going toake a big bunch of prints in 4 weeks or less!

So much fun! This is such an easy process and the possibilities the ‘wet’ cyanotype process present are myriad. I have just scratched the surface of using cyanotype in my artwork, but these inexpensive Jacquard materials are easy to use and the documents say they will produce 50-60 8” x 10” sheets. My experience using fabric suggests this is realistic, so lots of experimenting lies in my future. Why has this marvelous process been limited to architectural blueprints for so long? Artists, take note, this process is a new and powerful arrow to add to your quiver of techniques. And the blues which result from this process coordinate beautifully with the indigo shibori I have been dabbling in.

Fantastic results, very easy to use.

I am a photography instructor, and I’ve used a number of cyanotype kits over the years. This kit is by far the best of all of them. Easy to mix, just make sure you allow 24 hours after adding water before you use it. It produces nice deep blue tones, and a wide tonal range. I’ve been exposing my negatives using this UV blacklight flood light: Roleadro UV Black Light Flood... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07JB7F1X2?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share I expose for roughly 7 minutes at 11 inches from the light source for an 8 x 10 image. After 2 to 3 minutes minutes of rinsing, I run it through a quick hydrogen peroxide bath, 1 to 2 capfuls of hydrogen peroxide per quart of water. Another quick rinse and it’s done.

worls great

I suggest this over any other brand. Easy step by step. Make sure to store them in room temp. Not in direct sun (dries out quicker).

Don’t spend your time and money on it. heterogeneous yelow think will newer get you the real cyanotype. Just buy stock liquide cyanotype.
