Jacquard Potassium Ferricyanide 16 Oz is a red iron salt used in combination with Ferric Ammonium Citrate to create cyanotype chemistry. Cyanotype is one of the earliest photographic printing processes, discovered in 1842 and renowned for producing distinctive rich, Prussian blue monochromatic images. Often associated with architectural blueprints and botanical photograms, this historic sun-printing technique allows artists to harness the power of sunlight or UV light to create detailed images from objects, shadows, and photographic negatives.

Simply combine the chemistry according to the mixing instructions provided on the packaging, apply the sensitizer to a suitable surface, and expose it to sunlight or UV light to create your image. Objects such as plants, leaves, lace, tools, stones, and other items can be used to create unique photograms, while digitally printed photographic negatives can produce detailed photographic prints. Suitable for a wide range of natural and porous surfaces, including cotton, linen, silk, canvas, wool, paper, wood, and leather, Potassium Ferricyanide is an essential component for artists, photographers, printmakers, textile artists, quilters, and anyone exploring the creative possibilities of cyanotype.
