🔴 Here is a simple tutorial about Cyanotype printing.
Cyanotype is a photographic printing process that produces a cyan-blue print. Engineers used the process well into the 20th century as a simple and low-cost process to produce copies of drawings, referred to as blueprints. The process uses two chemicals: ferric ammonium citrate and potassium ferricyanide.

It looks like the photo (picture) had to be converted back to film positive/negative. This is the part I am confused about. For Art I would asume you will have to take a picture of the art say 8.5" x 11" then print the film negative which is actually used to make the blue print. How would you do or convert a digital camera output into a film negative.

Mathieu , I have tried to use a transparent negative print for my cyanotype and bought almost identical Iv lamp to yours (20 watt ) and built a light box out of cardboard- at distance of 10 inch . Iv tried different exposures timings (18min to 40min ) it won’t print right ... It feels as though perhaps my negative isn’t contrasted enough (?) . It’s very very faint . No details visible Could you tell me how long you expose your print for ? What lamp you use - is it watercolor paper you print on ? Do you adjust the negative print ? Any advise would be appreciated

I'll be trying out Mike Ware's "new cyanotype" formula soon. It's stated advantages are shorter exposure times, deeper blues which don't was off, and a long shelf life. One drawback: you need to create the formula yourself using a mortar and pestle as well as using a thermometer. One huge advantage: the finished formula is one bottle - no more 1:1 measuring is required. 😀

@MathieuStern 4 жыл бұрын

I want to buy this formula but i dont find a website that sells it... where did you find yours ?

@TheStockwell 4 жыл бұрын

@@MathieuStern The website Photographers Formulary carries it. The webpage allows you to read and download the mixing instructions. Mike Ware's website www.mikeware.co.uk has enough reading material to keep you busy through a dozen pandemics. Ware is British; the cyanotype process is an English invention. So, they're the perfect people to update it! 😀
