73 Pieces Sun Print Paper Cyanotype Paper Kit, Solar Drawing Paper Sensitivity Nature Printing Paper

I wasn't sure how good this paper would be as the price is so good but I was pleasantly surprised. When you open the packet, the paper looks uneven in colouring, this doesn't seem to be a problem though as the final prints were even in tone.Each print was exposed under a UVA 30W lamp for 15 mins, then washed off with a showerhead for 5 mins. The leaf image was then put in a tray of green tea which has coloured the print a brownish colour. The plant image was left as it was and so has retained its blue colours. Both had vinegar sprayed onto the paper before exposure and turmeric sprinkled on (gives a yellow colour) and the leaves print also had paprika added (gives a redish colour). The cat image was produced by printing out an acetate negative of a photo from my computer and overlaying it over the paper when exposed to the UV light.The colour of all prints, develop and change slightly in colour over a 24hr period. Jaquard have some really good pdf info sheets on their website, well worth a look.I would higly recommend this paper to try out the Cyanotype process.

These are fantastic - they work in cloudy weather too we just left them for longerReally easy to use and very effective. We used them with nursery childrenBetter if you use completely flat things on them.

It's a windy Autumn Day but bright, before the wind really got up I picked five leaves, 2 large ones and three small ones, placed them between the paper and the clear plastic sheet and left them outside in the sun, not that sunny. Due to the wind I attached bull dog clips to the plastic and paper to stop it blowing away, so I got the print of the clips pressurising the paper as well, but if you using this in the Summer it wouldn't be an issue.I then rinsed the paper and the results you can see.This really is paper best used in the Summer for crafts. If you select natural items like leaves and flowers, you could create cards with the paper being on the centre of the card ... Would be fun for children to use.I never used it before and I could get it to work prefectly. I think the light levels probably need to be quite good if you were considering using it in the Winter, might be something to buy and put away if you want to have a go with this ...Happy to recommend based on what I received.
