What is Cyanotype? It is a mid-1800’s early alternative photographic process invented by Sir John Herschel, in England. Now it is used as an everyday art material for all ages.
How does it work? The Cyanotype Store makes pre-coated 100% natural fiber paper creates a sun-sensitive printable surface. To make a Cyanotype print, start by choosing a design or object you want to print (ideas: ferns and flowers, photographic negatives, designs printed on transparency film and found objects like lace, beach glass, and any objects large or small). Next, follow these steps to make a Cyanotype Print:
1) Lay your design on the pre-coated Cyanotype Paper
2) Place it in the sun or under a UV (Ultra Violet) lamp for 10-15 minutes
3) Rinse the exposed Cyanotype Paper in water for 5 minutes. Results: Cyanotype creates an aesthetically brilliant Prussian Blue color around the design area. The design remains the original color of the paper. White, violet, green, blue, yellow and red are some cyanotype paper color options (Also sold on Amazon). See images for print examples.
Unique attributes of Cyanotype Store Cyanotype Paper: Made in the USA, non- toxic (ideal for all ages), environmentally safe, easy to teach, archival-a fine art material, paper is 100lb weight-heavy and durable for repeated rinsing, no darkroom is needed, conforms to ASTM D4236 (certified as a safe art material for children).

This didn’t work. The papers seemed partially exposed when I got them. No meaningful change in color so hard to determine exposure time. What is the point of double siding it??

This cyano paper works just fine for my uses (photographic cyanotypes from big negatives). However, because it is double-sided, the coating on the reverse side will often translate artifacts to my print side. Usually shows up as broad "stripes". If there was a single-sided version of this paper, I would definitely use it.

Got this for the GSUSA NASA badge. Instructions are easy to understand. Played around with it for a bit to get the best “artistic” images. Worked at nigh noon but overcast. Did not work as well at almost sunset.

I purchased several packages of this paper for a classroom exercise.Results varied too widely (from good to nothing at all) to purchase again.

I used the product to make a print of some dried grass. I was surprised by how much of the details showed up in finished piece.
