Had a go with cyanotypes an anthotypes this last weekend. Loved it.

This technique is great!! I'm an art student and researching ways to create art by being sustainable and i think this is a great way to start and be creative! I would like to learn more about it's longevity, like how long does the prints preserve its original colour , or are there ways to make it permanent/long lasting? If you could provide me more information about it i will be really grateful 😊. Thank you

The anthotype provess is very cool. I've used it to produce paper and glass negatives (if you use pure alcohol, ypu can coat a glass plate if you put a layet of egg albumin or collodian on itblike youd do to prep a photographic wet plate. Preserving a positivd image is best served by digitally photographing the results.

have you ever exposed these in a UV light box? would the exposure times be too long?

Will definitely be giving this a go as I've been doing cyanotypes for the last 6 months or so. Why are water and alcohol interchangeable in the process? Does using alcohol just speed up the drying?

Alcohol is considered to bring out stronger pigments in the process, typically for wild plants.

Ok, this is two years old, but maybe I am lucky and get an answer 😅 I am an Artist from Germany and in the moment incorporate cyanotype processes into my art. Now I just saw this video, never heard of this and find it amazing. It could give my art pieces another layer… or color… and I will definitely give it a try. But now to my question: since this process works with UV light bleaching the chlorophyll (I would assume it has something to do with oxygen getting released), those pictures should not be very stable and would bleach away after a short while, when being exposed to (sun)light. Is there any way to stabilise them and make them uv resistant? And is there any problem with the organic matter becoming moldy and growing some pretty fungi? In any way, I thank you for your great video and will now dive into your other videos. Chris

Interesting. BTW do you know of any non-toxic B&W chemicals available in the UK?

You can make your own following the caffenol recipe book.

Would it in any way speed up the development time to put the prints in a UV light box? Or does it work with sunlight only?

yea he said he used a uv light box in an interview!

No, anthotypes do not work in UV. Sun only as it is a bleaching process.

You can't unfortunately. Keep them in the dark to preserve :)
