Jacquard Cyanotype Sensitizer Set

great, this was on a gift list and recipient was thrilled!

Good product. Easy to use. Make sure you mix it and put it in a darker place for 24 hours before using.

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!

Works like its supposed to.

It was everything I expected it to be. I over did the first few. You dont need to apply a lot to be a good print.

Product easy to use...and having a great time producing cyanotypes on watercolor paper

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!

Art projects and cloth and easy to use, but dies take time. Also timing depends on the sun time and season.

Love this product demonstrating how to use alternative photography processing... very unique!

Ive had good luck with this stuff. It should theoretically not vary by brand though (unless advertised), since its a simple chemical formulation. If you are coating paper, be weary of what type you use. Most commercial paper is buffered, and contains various additives (optical brighteners, etc). These characteristics are detrimental to the Cyanotype chemical process. If you want top quality prints, buy specifically unbuffered paper with no additives. DO NOT USE INKET PAPER. You will just waste it. You can buy special paper marketed as for use with historical photo processes (Cyanotype/Platinum, etc). Look on B&H, Freestyle Photo, etc. If you want to learn more about Cyanotypes, EVERYTHING you need to know is in a free book called Cyanomicon, by Mike Ware. Google it, and the free pdf book will be the first result.
