The Jacquard Cyanotype Kit is a two-component kit for photographic
blueprints on paper and fabric.
Cyanotype is the ‘original’ sun-printing process, one of the earliest
photographic techniques. Discovered in 1842 and distinctive for
producing rich, Prussian blue monochromatic prints, it was popular well
into the 20th century as an inexpensive method for reproducing
photographs, documents, maps and plans (hence the enduring
architectural term blueprint) and famously, for making impressions of
biological specimens in the field (photograms).
Harness the power of the sun to make detailed prints from virtually any
object that casts a shadow: tools, toys, plants, leaves, stones, sand,
string, lace, etc. Simply place the object on the sensitised surface
and expose it to sunlight. Use a digitally-printed photographic
negative (an inverted black and white photo inkjet-printed onto a
transparency) instead of an object to create full-resolution
photographs on paper or fabric. Great for photographers, mixed media
artists, printmakers, quilters, kids and more. The cyanotype process is
easy, forgiving, quick, magical and fun. It can be used on any natural
fibre/porous surface including cotton, linen, silk, canvas, wood,
paper, wood and leather.
This set contains enough chemistry to make approximately sixty-five 8in
x 10in prints on paper or fifty 8in x 10in prints on fabric. The two
components are: Part A - Potassium Ferricyanide (a red iron salt used
with Ferric Ammonium Citrate for cyanotype) and Part B - Ferric
Ammonium Citrate (a light-sensitive iron salt used with Potassium
Ferricyanide for cyanotype).
