How do you print Cyanotype?

To create a cyanotype, place your negative (to reproduce an image) or object (to create a photogram), in contact with your fabric or coated paper. Sandwich it with a piece glass. The sandwich should be exposed to ultraviolet light. While natural sunlight is the best source of light, UV lamps are also available.

What chemicals are needed for cyanotype printing? Cyanotype, a photographic printing process that creates a cyan-blue image, is one example. The process was used by engineers well into the 20th Century as a low-cost and simple way to make copies of drawings (also known as blueprints). Two chemicals are required for this process: ferric ammonium citrate (or potassium ferricyanide).

Second, is it possible to expose a cyanotype too much?

When using objects, they must be flat enough that they can be placed under a glass pane. Cyanotype is an excellent introduction to this process. Overexpose images is almost impossible.
