Cyanotype solution set by Jacquard
The Jacquard Cyanotype Sensitizer Set is ideal for somebody looking to make lots of sun prints on paper or fabric. Plenty solution for around 50-60 x (8” x 10”) prints. Take note that fabric will take more solution than paper.
The pack includes 2 x pre-measured chemical powders in 150ml size bottles that when tap water is added, together create a UV sensitive solution for cyanotype printing.
How to use:
- add water to fill bottles, shake and leave 24 hours to dissolve fully, these solutions A and B will remain stable for years on your shelf and you can come back to this activity again at a later date.
- to make the cyanotype solution active, mix equal parts of A and B in a container, only enough for use at that time, it will remain active for 2-4 hours. You can use this straight away. With a brush or sponge, apply the cyan solution to paper or fabric in a dim or non UV environment. Household lightbulbs are ok!
- allow papers and fabric to dry fully, ideally overnight do not expose to daylight.
- make your exposures taking 10-30 minutes in UV sunlight depending conditions. This can be outdoors or indoors by a sunny window, check out www.jacquardproducts.com for handy tips and advice.
- finally, rinse the paper or fabric in cool tap water for 5 minutes to expose your print.
