Create Stunning Sun Prints with the Power of UV Light

Cyanotype is one of the oldest photographic processes, known for creating rich Prussian blue images using sunlight. With just two simple chemicals and UV exposure, you can make detailed prints of natural objects, negatives, or silhouettes in minutes. This process is popular among photographers, mixed media artists, and educators for its simplicity, beauty, and creative range.

Jacquard makes cyanotype printing easy with pre-sensitized fabric that is ready to use straight from the package. Place your object or transparency, expose it to sunlight for 3 to 15 minutes, then rinse with water to reveal the image. The result is a permanent, high-contrast blue print. For artists who prefer to mix their own solutions, Jacquard also offers Potassium Ferricyanide and Ferric Ammonium Citrate for coating paper, fabric, or wood.
