This emulsion is applied to a porous surface, such as paper or fabric, to create prints via exposure to UV light. The chemical is also used in traditional darkroom photography as a component in toning baths to alter the colour of silver gelatin prints or as a reducer (Farmer's Reducer) to lighten specific areas of a print.Usage and Handling Instructions:For cyanotype printing, dissolve the powder in distilled water to create a stock solution, following a specific formula's measurements.
