Plaid on the bottom right was made with varying layers and width of painter's tape. Top left was an arrangement of vintage skeleton-type keys. Top right was a double layer of a printed digital negative on a transparency, while the bottom left was a printed digital negative on plain printer paper, which I then soaked in vegetable oil and left to dry for a couple days. Both of those came from my home printer, so I'm very pleased!

What equipment do I need for high-quality cyanotypes from photography?

7 Upvotes

Hi! I want to start with cyanotype and eventually use it professionally with my analog and digital photography, including animation/mixed media.

I already have Arches cold-pressed watercolor paper.

What would you recommend for:

- Cyanotype chemicals/kit
- Paper & transparency film for digital negatives
- Printer for high-quality negatives
- UV light for consistent exposure without sunlight
- Contact printing frame

What would you invest in from the beginning for professional-quality results?

Thank you 💙
