Flicfilm Cyanotype 50-Sheet Kit

This kit will make 200ml of working solution, enough to coat roughly 50 A4 sheets. If you have hard water, use distilled water for mixing. Add water to the top of the label on each of the Part A and Part B bottles. Make sure both the chemicals are fully dissolved. Under a low light, mix equal portions of the two solutions together. You are now ready to coat your paper. Only mix as much as you are going to use in one session. When finished mixing, return the bottles tothe original box to keep them out of the light

The cyanotype process was conceived by Sir John Herschel in 1842 and the formula has remained essentially unchanged until today. It is a non-toxic simple approach to making prints by laying a negative over treated paper and exposing it to the sun. It can also be used for photograms, an image made without a camera by placing objects directly onto the surface of a light-sensitive material and then exposing it to light. Our kits have sufficient capacity for up to 50 A4 sized sheets. Water colour paper or cotton cloth are both excellent mediums for cyanotype printing. Cyanotypes can be toned to different colours after being bleached. Toners can be tea, coffee, wine or any other tannic acid rich liquid.
