Cyanotype Set
- Description
2 Component Set for Photographic blueprints on paper and fabric
Cyanotype printing is a photographic printing process that produces cyan-blue prints. The process involves coating a substrate, typically paper or fabric, with a light-sensitive solution containing iron salts. When exposed to ultraviolet light, such as sunlight, a chemical reaction occurs, resulting in a distinctive blue color. The areas that are exposed to light become dark blue, while the areas protected from light remain white or pale blue.
Set includes 2—0.8 oz/22.68 g bottles (1 each of the following):
Part A: Potassium Ferricyanide—A red iron salt used with Ferric Ammonium Citrate for cyanotype.
Part B: Ferric Ammonium Citrate—A light-sensitive iron salt used with Potassium Ferricyanide for cyanotype.
This set contains enough materials to make approximately:
sixty-five 8" x 10" prints
or
fifty 8" x 10" prints on fabric.
