FORMULARY NEW CYANOTYPE KIT was formulated by Dr. Michael Ware. The formula was published in the Jan/Feb. 1997 issue of Photo Techniques. According to Dr. Ware, The "New" Cyanotype process uses a single sensitizer solution, having a long shelf life, to make prints of an excellent stable blue color and a long tonal response. And with a speed much faster than the traditional process." It also loses little, if any, blue color in the final wash water, and is much more suited to a greater variety of papers. This kit will produce approximately 50 8 x 10 prints if the sensitizer is applied with a glass coating rod, makes 100 ml (3 1/3 oz.) of solution

Works quite well. Succinct instructions. I'm using this on Rives BFK heavy weight cream paper. For the prints in the image I exposed the paper / chemical for 13 minutes, in the morning sunlight, with shadows cast from plants in my garden.

I remember doing "solar prints" as a kid and I wanted to try doing a cyanotype print on a large piece of cloth. So I was thrilled to find this kit on Amazon. I thought it was just the ticket. Unfortunately I purchased the New Cyanotype Printing Kit, thinking "newer is better."
I called Photographer's Formulary up for advice, and they were quite nice and helpful. But they told me that the new formulation is not really suitable for cloth. Apparently it makes much less solution than the old kit so you just cant make enough to cover fabric. I cant really fault them, I just wish the product description stated that it was only suitable for paper printing.
Im not sure if the old formulation is for sale here- its not clear in the product description for the other cyanotype kit. So I just thought I'd let you know!
As a photography major we have the learn different types of process, that where Photographer's Formulary New Cyanotype Printing Kit came in! Just wonderful, messy but fun! Great for a family project with the kids (adult supervision please as there are some dangerous chemicals), or if you just want to try a new style of print photographs. I made up a few extra sheets when getting them ready to print on for class, so that I could do this will my niece and she absolutely loved it! Happy Photography with this Kit!
