Jacquard Cyanotype Sensitizer Set

A very convenient way to make cyanotypes as the provision of the necessary chemicals in plastic bottles makes solution mixing easy. The only reason I dont give this five stars is that the chemicals themselves can be bought elsewhere for much less.

Easy to use but for large swaths of fabric I would recommend a spray bottle over a brush.

i have been making cyanotypes for a few years now and i do not know if what happened was that i got a defective product in this one occasion but this has been the worst experience with cyanotypes thus far. the solution is incredibly unstable and during its water bath will completely wash off despite the use of vinegar and using no agitation. after hours of preparing negatives I end up with no prints. will try this brand again but from another seller to see if it was just a dud

Art projects and cloth and easy to use, but dies take time. Also timing depends on the sun time and season.

Works great. Had some user error getting used to the process

Ive had good luck with this stuff. It should theoretically not vary by brand though (unless advertised), since its a simple chemical formulation. If you are coating paper, be weary of what type you use. Most commercial paper is buffered, and contains various additives (optical brighteners, etc). These characteristics are detrimental to the Cyanotype chemical process. If you want top quality prints, buy specifically unbuffered paper with no additives. DO NOT USE INKET PAPER. You will just waste it. You can buy special paper marketed as for use with historical photo processes (Cyanotype/Platinum, etc). Look on B&H, Freestyle Photo, etc. If you want to learn more about Cyanotypes, EVERYTHING you need to know is in a free book called Cyanomicon, by Mike Ware. Google it, and the free pdf book will be the first result.

I wanted something different to share with my craft loving sisters when they came to visit. This was just the ticket. Unlike the prepared fabrics and papers, there is some prep, of course, and the waiting for things to cure is not so much fun. The results, however, were well worth it. Ill try to post pictures later.

Fun project for my kids.

worls great
