Create Stunning Sun Prints with the Power of UV Light
Cyanotype is one of the oldest photographic processes, renowned for its ability to produce rich Prussian blue images using sunlight. With just two simple chemicals and UV exposure, you can capture intricate prints of natural objects, negatives, or silhouettes in minutes. This technique is beloved by photographers, mixed media artists, and educators for its simplicity, beauty, and versatility.
Jacquard makes the process even more accessible with pre-sensitized fabric that’s ready to use straight from the package. Just place your object or transparency, expose to sunlight for 3–15 minutes, and rinse with water to develop your image. The result is a permanent, high-contrast blue print. For artists who want full control, Jacquard also offers Potassium Ferricyanide and Ferric Ammonium Citrate for mixing your own solution and coating custom surfaces like paper, fabric, or wood.
