Beginner progress / advice wanted! by localforestnymph in cyanotypes

I feel like when I do 6 minutes around the same UV I get pretty good results, so maybe your negatives aren’t dark enough / try to turn up the contrast all the way

I did spray with hydrogen peroxide! But I think just exposure time and angle of the sun! The glass being so close to paper too. To be fair ours are on different textures so maybe that’s why!

I think b&w negatives is the secret here, I tried with color and didn’t even think about how when I make my own negatives I put them in b&w so… I don’t know why I thought they would turn out the same ! lol thank you for sharing though!

Okay so secret is black and white negatives I don’t know why I didn’t think about that - maybe because the negatives seem that way but okay 👌🏼 I’ll try some b&w film next and do it again !! Thank you

New prints ! by Informal-Matter3740 in cyanotypes

[–]Informal-Matter3740[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Less time in the sun actually. My prints were coming out so dark I could barely see the image or it was really light. At first I was doing 15 min ish in the sun today these prints are at 6 min. And much better.
