As an experienced photography and art teacher making cyanotypes with my students was one of the highlights of the year.

Simply add water to the bottles, combine chemicals A & B, coat paper, dry in subdued light, place objects on the paper and expose to the sun. After exposing wash out in water and dry to produce vivid prussian blue prints. You can apply it to a variety of papers, natural fabrics, wood etc.

Exposure times vary depending on time of year and time of day. Exposure will be fastest on a sunny summers day ( around 10 minutes) and can be up to several hours on a cloudy winters day.

The Love to Print cyanotype kit contains chemicals to mix up 130ml solution which will coat around 40-50 A5 sheets of paper -a little goes a long way
