What is a cyanotype?
What is a cyanotype? A cyanotype is a cameraless photographic printing process that produces a cyan-blue print. To create a print, objects are arranged on the UV sensitive paper and exposed to sunlight. Finally, the print is washed in water to fix the image. not UKCA/UKNI/CE tested: This is not a toy and should not be used under the ages of 14
Do these cyanotype papers expire? My advice is to use within 2-3 months of purchase as they are coated fresh. Cyanotype paper can expire due to the natural oxidisation of the chemicals applied to the surface. However you may find your papers will still react to UV light long beyond this recommendation with varying results.
How is this photography? Cyanotype is a camera-less photographic process which predates cameras. The paper is light sensitive, when objects are laid on the paper and exposed to Ultro-violet light, the paper will change colour. The steps are simple, the kit included instructions to guide you.
