Jacquard Cyanotype Set 2 Component Set for Photographic blueprints on paper and fabric

Cyanotype is the original sun-printing process (1842), loved for its deep Prussian blue and magical, camera-free “photograms.” Place leaves, lace, tools—anything that casts a shadow—on a sensitized surface and expose to sunlight (UV). Or print a digital negative on transparency for full-resolution photographs. Fast, forgiving, and addictive—great for photographers, printmakers, quilters, mixed-media artists, classrooms, and family craft days.

What you can print on: any natural fiber / porous surface—cotton, linen, silk, canvas, paper, wood, leather, etc.
