Jacquard Cyanotype Chemistry Set

Delivery time within Germany: 1 - 3 working days
Cyanotype, invented by John Herschel in 1842, is a historic analogue photographic technique famous for its deep blue, monochromatic images.
In the 19th century, plant studies, maps, plans (blueprints), and documents were recorded in this way.
This photogram technique is still very popular today.
This is a very simple photographic process.
Development and fixation are done with tap water; a darkroom is not necessary.
With the help of this chemistry set, you can coat paper or other natural fibers such as cotton, silk, wool, but also wood or leather and then expose them to light.
capacity
Sufficient for approx. 50 A4 size papers or pieces of fabric.
This is how it works:
- The cyanotype chemistry is contained in powder form in the two plastic bottles, ensuring a very long shelf life.
- To use, simply fill the bottles with water to prepare the working solutions for batch 1 and batch 2.
A notice: Using distilled water improves the shelf life of the solutions! - By mixing the two mixtures you get the light-sensitive cyanotype working solution.
- The paper or fabric is then coated with this solution
- Cover the paper or fabric with objects, stencils, negatives, plants, etc. as desired. There are no limits to your imagination.
Depending on the template, it may be helpful to weigh it down with a piece of glass - Depending on the sun intensity, expose to UV light for 3-10 minutes, alternatively you can also use our UV exposure kit.
Where UV light hits the cyanotype sheet, a chemical reaction takes place. - Rinse the exposed sheets with cold water for at least 5 minutes until the water no longer shows any discoloration.
The exposed areas turn blue. - Within 24 hours, the cyanotype images dry and receive their deep blue image tone through oxidation
To speed up the process, you can optionally add a few drops of hydrogen peroxide to the washing water.
Durability of the solutions
- The powder chemicals in the bottles have an almost unlimited shelf life.
- The individual chemicals mixed with water in the bottles have a shelf life of about 6 months - 1 year.
Using distilled water instead of tap water improves shelf life. - The mixed emulsion (chemical solution from bottle 1 + bottle 2) is only stable for about 2-4 hours.
Therefore, it is advisable not to mix more than is needed for the current project
processing
- Coated paper is sensitive to UV light --> If possible, only cover it with objects or foils in rooms without sunlight or in the shade
- Weigh down objects on the paper/fabric with a glass pane for sharper contours
- For coating paper or fabrics with emulsion, we recommend our sponge brushes or Hake brushes.
- To create negative templates, you can also use the printing foils from Solatfast or Fotospeed and with the help of the Jacquard printing program Simply print your templates.
