    Worked perfectly and great with the instructions on the backside!

    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.

    Have not been able to use it yet because I read the instructions which tell you to fill the bottle, shake it (till dissolved, whenever that is I dont know), then wait 24 hours before using it. Im just disappointed because shipping took longer than usual prime and now I have to wait another day before I can even get the paper prepared. I will write another review after I actually get to utilize it. By the way, you are told to reconstitute the whole bottle and that the solutions have a long shelf life which doesnt tell me anything. I hope that they dont go bad.

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

    A cheap alternative to Bostick and Sullivan brand. It works just as well but be warned you have to mix it yourself. Use distilled water and measure the amount and youll be fine.

    I used this to dye wood, do blueprints, and dye some fabric. It all turned out wonderfully and beautiful, and the compounds are really easy to mix.

    Very easy to use: mix equal parts of each bottle and brush on the paper. I did a few prints with these and they came out as expected.

    This is great for anyone whos curious about cyanotypes and wants to give it a try. the chemicals are easy to mix - just fill each bottle with water and mix a bit to make sure the powders are dissolved. after that, just mix a capful of each together to coat your paper and youre good to go.

    Easy to mix but the instructions were not as clear we would have liked.

Cyanotype Set-- Component Set 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, Cyanotype 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 sensitized surface and expose to sunlight (UV). 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. Capture the nuance of every shadow—a fun group activity for any age!
