Cyanotype Chemistry Set by Jacquard. Cyanotype is the original sun-printing process, one of the earliest photographic techniques. Harness the power of the sun to make detailed prints from virtually any object that casts a shadow. Simply place the object on the sensitized surface and expose to sunlight (UV). Use a digitally-printed photographic negative instead of an object to create full-resolution photographs on paper or fabric. Great for photographers, mixed media artists, printmakers, quilters, kids and more, the cyanotype process is easy, forgiving, quick, magical and fun.
