Cyanotypes also known as Sun or Solar Prints.
Formulary's New Cyanotype Kit was formulated by Dr. Michael Ware. This formula was published in the Jan / Feb 1997 issue of Photo Techniques. According to Dr. Ware, the New Cyanotype processes uses a single sensitizer solution. It boasts a long shelf life and makes prints with an excellent stable blue color and a long tonal response. The speed is much faster than the traditional process. It 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 8x10 prints if the sensitizer is applied with a glass coating rod.

The powders were sent separated into pre-weight/measured packages & bottle. With my magnetic stirrer/hotplate the powders were easily mixed without any unexpexced reactions or unexpected residues. I can say that IF one reads over the included instructons sheet BEFORE begining and follows the tips and suggestions on that sheet that they will not be disappointed. I was very pleased with the product.

I used this kit to try the 'new' cyanotype formula. The kits is easy to use; everything is pre-measured and the instructions were easy to follow . I used the solution on Arches Platine paper and obtained images with a nice smooth tonal range and deep Dmax.
