Description

Jacquard's Cyanotype Sensitizer Set makes DIY cyanotype printing as easy as can be. The chemistry comes premeasured in lightproof black bottles. To use, fill each bottle with water to create Stock Solutions A and B, then mix the two in equal parts to create the cyanotype sensitizer. Coat fabric or paper with the sensitizer and, once dry, create prints by exposing to sunlight or UV (3 to 15 minutes, depending on conditions), using objects or a film negative to create an image. After exposure, process prints in a tray of cool water and allow to air dry over about 24 hours; prints will oxidize to their final deep blue color. To instantly oxidize the print to its final color, submerge in a dilute bath of hydrogen peroxide after washing, then rinse and dry. Contains enough chemistry to make approximately 65 prints on 8-1/2 x 11 inch paper or 50 prints on 8-1/2 x 11 inch fabric, depending on the absorbency of the substrate.
