Jacquard Cyanotype Sensitizer Set

Jacquards chemicals are easy to use, and the results can be a lot of fun. This reminded me of working in a photo darkroom! Definitely mix the A and B under low light (I used a red LED flashlight), as the result is light sensitive, once it is mixed. Make very small batches as you dont need much to cover a few sheets of paper. I had good results with watercolor paper, and doing 6-10 minute exposures in the sunlight. Good luck to you all. Be creative!

Great product, thanks!

Such an easy project. You can do this with children or just hand fun. I started with tea towels and then a bag for my laptop and now I want to try a whole dress! The color is beautiful!

Love love love! I need more! It looks as tho there is a shortage on this end as well.. this is one of my favorite mediums. PLEASE MAKE MORE

This is an economical way to make a number of cyanotypes. It is easy to use and results in beautiful dark blue and white prints. I made my prints on fabric. The steps are the same as printing on paper. Mix equal amounts of the chemicals, paint onto your fabric (or paper), let dry in a dark place. Place leaves, flowers, feathers, lace - just about anything - on the treated fabric, cover with glass and place in the sun. The color of the fabric didnt change with the sun which was a little confusing to me since I had read that it would turn bronze. But as soon as I rinsed it and added a bit of peroxide, the intense blue appeared. My first attempts were keepers!

Worked perfectly and will last a long time with how much there is

Works great! I taught an art class on cyanotypes and had so much product left over, I’ve been using it for creative gifts

Literally just add water. Instructions are included on the back of the cardboard insert and on both bottles, so theres certainly little room for error provided you are literate. The rest is up to trial and error. And with this affordable, Prime-able, foolproof option, theres no reason to fear errors (of which you will have many in the beginning). While you wait for it to ship, stop by the store and grab some benzoyl peroxide to add to the rinse wash later. I definitely recommend this set to anyone looking to start (or continue) cyanotyping. If you want some advice-- be patient. When you mix the chemicals, wait 24 hours. When you apply it to your medium, wait another 24 hours. And be patient when exposing, its always better to overexpose.

Easy to use and the price was great

Easy to use and beautiful color. Highly recommend!
