Jacquard Cyanotype Raw Chemistry (single)
Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout
Delivery time within Germany: 1 - 3 working days
Invented by John Herschel in 1842, cyanotype is a historical analogue photographic technique famous for its deep blue, monochromatic images.
In the 19th century, plant studies, maps, plans (blueprints) and documents were recorded in this way.
This photogram technique is still very popular today.
This is a very simple photographic process.
Development and fixation is done with tap water; a darkroom is not necessary.
For some time now, you can purchase the practical Jacquard Cyanotype Chemical Set in our shop, which contains powder chemicals that have already been weighed out for use and then only need to be mixed with water until ready for use.
For users experienced in dealing with chemicals, it may be worthwhile to mix the required chemical quantities from the raw chemicals themselves.
For this purpose, we supply you with the two raw chemicals required for cyanotypes: Jacquard Ferric Ammonium Citrate (ammonium iron(III) citrate, green) and Jacquard Potassium Ferricyanide (potassium hexacyanoferrate(III) purest, red prussiate of potassium) in larger individual packages.
You always need both Part A and Part B!
JACQUARD CYANOTYPE - PART A
Potassium hexacyanoferrate(III) pure, red prussiate
(English: Potassium Ferricyanide)
available in packs of 113g, 223g or 450g
Mixing ratio for mixing solution Part A according to Jacquard:
- 10g per 100ml water
If possible, let it rest for 24 hours until it has completely dissolved.
------------------ ------------------ -------------- ---- ------------------ ------------------ ---------- --------
JACQUARD CYANOTYPE - PART B
Ammonium iron(III) citrate, green
(English: Ferric Ammonium Citrate)
available in 223g packaging
Mixing ratio for mixing solution Part B according to Jacquard:
- 25g per 100ml water
If possible, let it rest for 24 hours until it has completely dissolved.
tips
- For mixing and storage we recommend our brown glass bottles with UV protection .
- The use of distilled water improves the shelf life of the solutions!
create cyanotypes
-
To prepare the light-sensitive cyanotype solution, mix the prepared liquid components Part A and Part B together in equal parts (1+1).
The mixed emulsion only lasts for about 2-4 hours.
The solution is sensitive to UV light! Only use it indoors without sunlight or UV light sources.
- The paper or fabric is then coated with this solution
- Cover the paper or fabric with objects, stencils, negative templates, plants, etc. as desired. There are no limits to your imagination.
Depending on the template, it may be helpful to weigh it down with a pane of glass - Depending on the intensity of the sun, expose to UV light for 3-10 minutes; alternatively, you can also use a UV lamp.
Where UV light hits the cyanotype sheet a chemical reaction takes place. - Rinse the exposed sheets with cold water for at least 5 minutes until the water no longer shows any discoloration.
The exposed areas turn blue. - Within 24 hours, the cyanotype images dry and receive their deep blue image tone through oxidation
To speed up the process, you can optionally add a few drops of 0.3% hydrogen peroxide solution to the washing water.
durability
- The powder chemicals in the cans have an almost unlimited shelf life.
- The individual chemicals mixed with water have a shelf life of about 6 months - 1 year.
Using distilled water instead of tap water improves shelf life. - The mixed emulsion (chemical solution Part A and Part B) is only stable for about 2-4 hours.
Therefore, it is advisable not to mix more than is needed for the current project.
processing tips
- Coated paper is sensitive to UV light --> If possible, only cover it in rooms without sunlight or in the shade with objects or foil
- Weigh down objects on the paper/fabric with a pane of glass for sharper contours, such as our clip frames or contact print frames.
- For coating paper or fabrics with emulsion, we recommend our sponge brushes or Hake brushes.
- To create negative templates, you can also use the printing foils from Solarfast or Fotospeed and simply print out your templates using the Jacquard printing program .
safety instructions
May cause skin and eye irritation and may irritate the respiratory tract.
For your safety, use a respiratory mask (e.g. FFP2) and chemical protective gloves when mixing and weighing the raw chemicals.
