Jacquard Cyanotype Kit

Jacquard's Cyanotype Kit makes solar printing easier than ever and includes everything you need to get started. This 2-component set is made for photographic blueprints on paper and fabric, or cyanotype. Cyanotype is the 'original' solar printing process, one of the earliest photographic techniques.

Harness the power of the sun to create detailed prints of virtually any object that casts a shadow: tools, toys, plants, leaves, stones, sand, rope, lace, and more. Simply place the object on a surface and expose it to sunlight (UV radiation).

Simply fill each bottle with water to make Stock Solutions A & B, then mix the two in equal parts to make the cyanotype sensitizer. Cover the supplied Hahnemühle Platinum Rag Fine Art Paper with the sensitizer and, once dry, make prints by exposing them to sunlight or UV (10-20 minutes depending on conditions), using the supplied glass print frame and objects or a film negative to create an image. After exposure, the prints are processed in a container of cold water and allowed to air dry.

Great for photographers, mixed media artists, printmakers, quilters, kids and more. The cyanotype process is simple, forgiving, fast, magical and fun. Capture the nuance of each shadow: a fun group activity for any age!

This set contains enough chemistry to make approximately 12 (8.5x11 inches / 21.59x27.94 cm) prints. Multilingual packaging is compliant in more than 15 countries. The set contains 59.14ml bottle Part A, 59.14ml bottle Part B, 1x measuring cup, 1x Hake brush, 1 quick start guide, 3 sheets of SolarFast film A4, 10 sheets of Hahnemühle Platinum Fine Art paper, 1 film marker, 1 glass print frame of 22.9x30.5 cm and 4 clips.
