Place any object or transparency on the sunography paper, expose in bright sunlight, and rinse with water to reveal a rich blue print. Sunography paper is 100% cotton archival watercolour paper, light sensitive on both sides for two sided prints. The superior quality and weight of Sunography paper produces finely detailed prints that are suitable for tinting or hand colouring with any media. The prints can also be toned yellow or sepia using rinses with common household liquids. But working with cyanotypes was still an important aspect of this modernism project. I’ve very glad I got to learn about this process as part of it. As it turned out my final project of semester 2 was also heavily inspired by cyanotypes and technical drawings. THE INFOGRAPHIC BRIEF This project was kind of funny. Originally I planned on doing a data set based on dog breeds. Then I found this timeline of the far future set and realised I had to stay on brand. The entire way through college I chose projects where I could create something related to science fiction (or fact). Why change from what I enjoy now I’m at university.

However by the time I got to the end of the project I had learned so much about the cyanotype process that with the right tools and exposure time I probably could have produced the design as a cyanotype print. The superior quality of Sunography produces finely detailed prints which can also be tinted, hand painted or decorated once exposed. Use old photo negatives, x-rays, bits of lace, leaves, printed transparencies or even household objects to compose beautiful designs! Place any object or transparency on the Sunography expose it in bright sunlight, and rinse to reveal a rich blue print. Made in USA from high-quality material and light sensitive on both side to make two-sided prints. Sunography comes in three styles: I got so excited when my first print came out looking like it should. A lot of work was involved to get to that point and I really enjoyed the whole learning process. THE FINAL INFOGRAPHICSolarFast dyes from Jacquard develop their colour and become permanent upon exposure to sunlight, and use a different technology. Step 3 – Place the acrylic pressing sheet on top to flatten and hold your items to the Sunprint paper

Place any object or transparency on the Sunography expose it in bright sunlight, and rinse to reveal a rich blue print. Made in USA from high-quality material and light sensitive on both side to make two-sided prints. Instructions are in English, French, Spanish. Sunography comes in three styles: One thing which because obvious was that taping the transparency to the light-sensitive paper wasn’t enough. My prints were coming out patchy because the paper was warping. Using a glass sheet to hold the acetate against the paper made a huge difference to the print.

However, artists also found that photography could also be used as a new form of art. Artists like László Moholy-Nagy experimented with a technique called photograms. This is a type of photography very similar to the cyanotype process. It works without a camera by placing objects directly on photosensitive paper. Exposing the paper to light then creates a negative image of the objects. As you can see above we made prints with wooden dinosaur shapes, and wooden under the sea shapes, plastic and metal cookie cutters, and other items like bottle tops and tape rolls. Place any object or transparency on the sunography cards, expose in bright sunlight, and rinse with water to reveal a rich blue print. I’ve had so much fun learning cyanotype over the last year. I love that my art school has given me the opportunity to learn new techniques like cyanotype and darkroom processing. Cyanotype is something I would highly recommend everyone give a try if you get the chance. Though it wasn’t great you could even get some of the Sun paper because of how simple it is. You can use a paper towel or a piece of cardboard as a bed for your print while it dries. Putting it on something absorbent will help to avoid the formation of water spots by drawing the water away from the Sunprint paper.
