Photographers' Formulary New Cyanotype Kit - 100ml/Makes 50 8x10" Prints
The Photographer's Formulary New Cyanotype Printing Kit was formulated by Dr. Michael Ware. The formula was established in the Jan/Feb. 1997 issue of Photo Techniques.
According to Dr. Ware, The "New" Cyanotype process uses a single sensitizer solution, having a long shelf life, to make prints of an excellent stable blue color and a long tonal response, and with a speed much faster than the traditional process."
The" New" Cyanotype kit also loses little, if any, blue color in the final wash water, and is much more suited to a greater variety of papers.
This kit will produce approximately 50 - 8 x 10" prints if the sensitizer is applied with a glass coating rod (makes 100 ml (3.3 oz.) of solution).
Note! Item requires the use of mortar and pestle and 4 oz jug (none are included)

Comments about Photographers' Formulary New Cyanotype Kit - 100ml/Makes 50 8x10" Prints:
I used this kit with watercolor paper and high contrast negatives. the preparation of the coating solution was very easy, and once coated, it dries in mere minutes. the blue hue produced by this process are incredibely intense, and very good pictures can be obtain with a short exposure to sunlight. my average exposure time was around 10 minutes. ( but my negs are very dense. ) best results are obtained a few days after the solution was made, when it turns to a pale olive oil color.
This kit is great!!

Comments about Photographers' Formulary New Cyanotype Kit - 100ml/Makes 50 8x10" Prints:
This is a kit for the chemicals to make cyanotypes. It is very simple to use. HOWEVER, you should have amber eye-dropper bottles for the chemicals after you mix them, as your prints will not require much. THESE EYE DROPPERS ARE NOT INCLUDED. Also, the silver nitrate comes in crystal form which must be crushed with a mortar and pestle (also not included) before mixed and strained. THIS SHOULD BE DONE WITH A RESPIRATOR. BREATHING IN SILVER NITRATE IS NOT GOOD FOR YOUR HEALTH. Something that is not mentioned in the instructions. Good product, if incomplete. Warnings should be posted clearly.

This was my first time making cyanotypes and this kit worked well for me- the prints are beautiful. However the directions were very unclear and I think you probably could find a kit that required fewer steps in mixing the chemicals.

Comments about Photographers' Formulary New Cyanotype Kit - 100ml/Makes 50 8x10" Prints:
This product is great for people just learning about the cyanotype process as well as for professional alternative processors. Everything you need is there, no shopping around to eight different websites for all the chemicals and materials and then not really knowing what do with the chemistry or what the risks are. Yes, sometimes buying the bulk chemicals can be cheaper, but not by much I assure you. Besides, who wouldn't pay a little extra for convenience?

Comments about Photographers' Formulary New Cyanotype Kit - 100ml/Makes 50 8x10" Prints:
Cyanotypes are a great way for students to dive into alternative processes. Results were consistent under both sunshine and UV box conditions. Mixing can be messy and time consuming.
