Blueprint to Cyanotypes

It's short, but informative. If you have an interest in one of the oldest of the Alternative Photographic processes, you will find this 1:30 video interesting. Based on the book by the same name, and produced by the author, Malin Fabbri and her husband, Gary, the video shows the basic steps of the process and gives several examples of the end results. The video is by Malin and Gary Fabbri, voiceover is by Anthony Mournian

@respects1008 maybe to much light

[respects1008]

what does it mean when the treated paper turns black when you are exposing in the sun?

@aravahimages a few times, but I do admit they were all school experiments so maybe I didn't really get to see a good product, schools tend to do everything downgraded x.x

@7h3d4rkw0lf dude/ette... a cyanotype is considered an 'alternative process' to ordinary darkroom printing. This technique is probably one of the oldest techniques around for printing images.. being invented in 1842. Yeah.. its 'easy' to use a real darkroom, but you dont have the same effect as this... have you tried doing any cyanotyping? :)

[7h3d4rkw0lf]

just use a real darkroom and the chemicals -_-

not that hard to use take a negative and develop it, i learned it in minutes

Yes, when you have coated the paper it should dry in the dark. At the end, when you have rinsed the final print, it does not need to be in the dark.

When we let the paper dry, does it need to be in the dark ?
