Jacquard Cyanotype Sensitizer Set

This was great. Thank you. Ive been wanting to try this for so long. Thank you for making a great product that did not disappoint.

I was recently introduced to the cyanotype process. I can’t get enough! One teaspoon of each chemical makes for a day of creativity, so this is a very economical craft. And it’s for all ages. I’ve worked with ages 6 year old and up with success. Try it, you’ll like it.

We have really enjoyed cyanotyping. Pre-treated paper and brought it camping with a large group. Made for a fun group activity.

So much fun! This is such an easy process and the possibilities the ‘wet’ cyanotype process present are myriad. I have just scratched the surface of using cyanotype in my artwork, but these inexpensive Jacquard materials are easy to use and the documents say they will produce 50-60 8” x 10” sheets. My experience using fabric suggests this is realistic, so lots of experimenting lies in my future. Why has this marvelous process been limited to architectural blueprints for so long? Artists, take note, this process is a new and powerful arrow to add to your quiver of techniques. And the blues which result from this process coordinate beautifully with the indigo shibori I have been dabbling in.

I love doing cyanotype art and this is the best price I’ve found for the set of chemicals.

This is a great product for making Cyanotype prints in the sunlight. It does not become light sensitive until you mix equal parts of the two liquids. It comes pre-measured in bottles ready for you to add water so there are no mistakes! Just make the solutions 24 hours before you will use them to allow ample time for the dry mixture to dissolve in the water. It works great on paper and fabric! Easy to use!

Works great! The solutions seem to keep for several months. Ive been using a cheap foam brush to coat the cyanotypes, but Id imagine itd work better if I went with a glass rod.

I really like how simple it is to mix and apply the cyanotype solution. It worked well on paper and fabric. Im very happy with the results.

Did photograms in the sun on a variety of papers. Took about 20 minutes outside in direct sunlight, but probably could have used less time.

I adore making cyanotypes and have tried a variety of options for making them. In general there are three choices. You can buy the paper pre-made which is fairly expensive (relatively speaking). You can buy the solution mixed up like this, which generally costs a lot because now youre paying to ship mostly water to you. And you can buy the crystals and just add water which is by far the most economical. So even saying that this is much more expensive than buying crystals, its far more expensive even than other liquid-based solutions! This option here is over **three times** as much as the other solution I buy. I cant see how they justify a three times markup for cyanotype liquid - especially when this in general is already so much more expensive than the raw crystals are. It looks like price gouging to me.
