Cyanotype kit, 2 Component Sensitizer Set with 28-Sheets 5.7''x8.2'' A5 Color Paper

I really liked this pack, it has good instructions and such. Although my first project was a shirt and i think i used to much and it didn’t dry properly so it didn’t work but overall a great pack

My son wanted to try cyanotype and I just wanted to find an inexpensive kit to try out. We got some really good results on our first try! I had a large (16x20”) piece of glass and particle board type backing piece from a frame that broke. We used that as the base and then used glass to weight down the flower stems on the paper instead of the thin plastic they provided. That way we could do multiple prints at once. We also used card stock instead of the paper on the kit. But that being said, the chemicals worked great. I definitely recommend this product!

I used this kit to make prints on cloth. This is my first try, and it turned out well! Just combine the 2 solutions (2.5 ml of each for two 5x7 pieces of thin white cotton), mix and paint onto the fabric. For large pieces of fabric you can dip it and wring it out. Allow it to dry completely in the dark (hang it with a clip). For the image, you need to convert it to a black and white image and then invert it (so it’s a negative image) and print it onto a transparency (that is laser printer or inject printer compatible). Trim it down to size (5x7) and put it on top of your dry cloth, place the acrylic sheet (from the kit) on top and then put it in a sunny spot for 20-30 mins. Rinse the cloth well and dry. You may need to adjust the developing time and the contrast/midtones of your image. You can also do this using paper for watercolor painting. The thicker paper holds up well. Adding a bit of hydrogen peroxide to the rinse also helps oxidize the print for a color a deeper color. The images look pretty amazing!

Liquids work perfectly but provided paper is not enough strong.

This was a great activity to do with my younger daughters. The step-by-step instructions were easy to understand. The kit came with all of the materials needed (ink, brush, and paper).

I had a lot of fun experimenting with materials and exposure times. A UV light was pretty necessary. Best results with paper, but I’m most excited about the fabric I printed. Highly recommend!

Good value and good price.

The packaging of this product is nice and sturdy. However, the plexiglass piece is shoved so firmly into the bottom of the box that I had to break the box to get it out. I noticed a couple of reviews that stated the plexiglass was missing, and I think it is possible that they just thought it was because of the way it was firmly wedged into the bottom of the box. The directions are on the box itself, but the mixing directions for the chemicals are on a card under the plexiglass. All the instructions were easy to follow and I threw together a print to support my review. I am looking forward to making projects with more thought and care involved in the layout and design of the final print. Overall, I m pleased with the result and plan to make more complex sun prints in the future!
