Thanks for all your kind messages during my week with Covid-19 , i am now feeling way better, and strong enough to finish this video and make new ones ! take care and stay home to fight this virus !
Thanks for showing the difference with and without peroxide. I have been wondering why it matters to have it because some people use water only. The peroxide definitely makes it look more clear.
This is so awesome. Making cyanotype prints can be a pain at first while you're getting your groove and start getting the results you want. Specially when you get that one photo that you just nailed it when printing it in cyanotype is very rewarding.
Great job Mathieu, doing cyanotypes is not hard but perfecting them is difficult. I did a tutorial on my channel a few months ago how to create cyanotypes in medium format cameras, you may be surprised at the results.
looks like you got a taste of analog photography when we met :) I would love to see you shooting 4x5 and doing prints of it - for a starter medium format would also be great. Love the second portrait a lot!!!
It looks like the photo (picture) had to be converted back to film positive/negative. This is the part I am confused about. For Art I would asume you will have to take a picture of the art say 8.5" x 11" then print the film negative which is actually used to make the blue print. How would you do or convert a digital camera output into a film negative.
J’avais l’intention de me lancer dans le cyanotype pendant le confinement et voilà que je reçois la notification de cette vidéo, ça tombe à pic !👌 Merci beaucoup !
I knew it! Strong as horse! Your art and love made you strong! So happy to get this good news, buddy! It's funny, because I was thinking about you and your wife last night at dinner. You crushed it! Totally awesome! This is a great way to start a day. Good news and a coffee, the perfect breakfast. 😉
This series turned out so good. Found your stuff through Reddit, honored to subscribe to your RUclips. Amazing content my friend. Glad I diacovered your work.
I'll be trying out Mike Ware's "new cyanotype" formula soon. It's stated advantages are shorter exposure times, deeper blues which don't was off, and a long shelf life. One drawback: you need to create the formula yourself using a mortar and pestle as well as using a thermometer. One huge advantage: the finished formula is one bottle - no more 1:1 measuring is required. 😀
@@MathieuStern The website Photographers Formulary carries it. The webpage allows you to read and download the mixing instructions. Mike Ware's website www.mikeware.co.uk has enough reading material to keep you busy through a dozen pandemics. Ware is British; the cyanotype process is an English invention. So, they're the perfect people to update it! 😀
Hey Matthieu great video! I bought this kit some time ago and thought I would finally try it out today. I was going to do some photogram style sun prints but after seeing your beautiful work I’m going to make some negatives and use those. Very inspiring, thanks!
Looking at the close-up at 4:58, is the texture there a result of the watercolour paper, the way the solution has been applied or a combination of the two? Are other papers viable beside watercolour paper?
Hi!! Does the paper need to be dry before adding the negative on top and starting the printing? Also, do we get the same results without adding those drops of hydrogen peroxide? Thank you so much!! This is awesome
I finally got around to attempting to copy an old glass negative using your method and supplies. I did it for 7 minutes and had a great image until I washed it. The entire image was lost. I'll try a much more gentle rinse tomorrow and maybe a longer exposure. I used watercolor acid free paper.
Hello Dale, it's normal, glass plates are thicker than transparent paper, 7 minutes is too short for glass plates. do one test at 15 min and one test at 25min i think it will give you a good result
@@MathieuStern I tried 27 minutes and got a strong border around the negative but still no image. I'm using the same light you used in this video and acid free watercolor paper. This is a very dark and early glass negative of a 4th of July parade. I'll try a transfer image next to reassure myself lol. Thanks for taking the time to read your comments.
@@MathieuStern I finally got a pretty decent image at 90 minutes. Next I'll try 3 hours. This is a really dark glass negative but the picture produced is quite stunning. This is a great process indeed.
Wow! I want to try. I have a laser printer but on Amazon I found transparent film for it, can the result change? In your comment I read that without Peroxide it takes 24 hours, how long with? Is it better to use 100% cotton as watercolor paper? How many watts is the lamp? Thanks!
I'm having really bad luck with making these. I got some pre-made papers and they came a sort of blue gray color. So when I tried printing them I started out in the sun using only a very thin layer of plastic some sort of transparency and I got a very faint negative, it looked sort of yellowish when I took it out of the sun and then I developed it and it turned a light blue. But then I tried doing some more under acrylic and bare ones and as I'm making these prints that are taking you know half an hour 2 hours they're still very faint. Has anyone experienced this, even in the direct sunlight I can't get a dark blue.
Many transparent materials have some form of UV blocking...usually to protect text, art...us even. Same with acrylics...I know when in regards to reef aquarium, using an acrylic lid between the water and lights cuts uv light in the tank by like 25 to 50%, even stuff without UV blocking. Be sure whatever transparent material your negative is printed on has no uv protective qualities. And maybe get the 2 part solution as the papers probably dont work as well and would def have a short shelf life.
Hi, I'm not so interested in the cyanotype printing as much as I'm in you transparency printed negatives, since I want to print some of my digital pictures on paper using my enlarger. Did you get good detail making the negatives on transparency film? I have to ask because in the video it only shows it so far. Thanks in advance.
I'm glad you're on the mend. The hydrogen peroxide at the end really seem to make a difference. Do you think time would have got the same result? I'm really surprised at the resolution. I have a kit I really need to get it out.
Fantastic video tutorial!! Congrats!! 🎈 🎉 it’s possible apply some chemical product for to have another color or black and gray tones ? (Not blue) thank you so much and best regards!!
Hey, what lamp is that? I want to buy one for my prints but I have no idea what should I choose? Anyone Wam to help me? I want to keep it as cheap as possible
I'm wondering if you/anyone reading has exposed the paper and kept it in a dark/cool/dry place for an extended period of time *before* the water bath?!
hey really helpful tutorial! I had one question. Im having problem finding a place to print the negatives. Can i do this in conventional printer with standard ink or i need something more specialized? Thank you in advance
Mathieu , I have tried to use a transparent negative print for my cyanotype and bought almost identical Iv lamp to yours (20 watt ) and built a light box out of cardboard- at distance of 10 inch . Iv tried different exposures timings (18min to 40min ) it won’t print right ... It feels as though perhaps my negative isn’t contrasted enough (?) . It’s very very faint . No details visible Could you tell me how long you expose your print for ? What lamp you use - is it watercolor paper you print on ? Do you adjust the negative print ? Any advise would be appreciated

Nice having you back
Youpiii
So pleased to hear you are well
Glad to hear that. Good to see you back.
Thanks for showing the difference with and without peroxide. I have been wondering why it matters to have it because some people use water only. The peroxide definitely makes it look more clear.
You can also use lemon juice. But the hydrogen peroxide creates a much darker blue print.
This is so awesome. Making cyanotype prints can be a pain at first while you're getting your groove and start getting the results you want. Specially when you get that one photo that you just nailed it when printing it in cyanotype is very rewarding.
You should use 2 droppers or clean it really well between products A and B or you will contaminate each product and reduce their shelf life !
Taking note
Can you explain this better, I don’t understand. Clean what really well?
The dropper at the very beginning when he mixes the chemicals.

My God, how beautiful!
I am glad you are feeling better! Thanks for another informative and fun video.
Good to see you're feeling better!
Glad to see you are feeling better. Thanks for sharing.
Great video! I’m so glad to see you looking so much better!

Felt great to see you back😍
Glad you recovered! I've been thinking about trying this, and your instructions were very clear and helpful! Great video - thanks! 👏🏼
So glad you are getting well. Thank you

You got a subscriber for life this channel is incredible 😊❤
Welcome aboard!
Literally, the coolest thing ever! 😍
I love the way the image appears
Merveilleux, comme de la magie ! And great great great to see you on the mend! Good health to you and yours.
Welcome back! Great video.
I hope you are doing better! I love your work. I knew you would power right through it. Keep it up!
how did you make the one at 0:20??
Thank you for such a brilliant share of your knowledge and skills. 🙏
would you need a photo printer to print those negatives or would a regular printer be fine? if not where else would you get negatives?
Looking at the close-up at 4:58, is the texture there a result of the watercolour paper, the way the solution has been applied or a combination of the two? Are other papers viable beside watercolour paper?
great video! what is the clear liquid used for the final developing process?
Water
Thank you so much for this video! Will try it, definitely!
Beautiful video I love this process!
Glad you are way better 👍
@mathieu stern ... where did you get the UV light? You don’t have a link in your gear for it.
Did you found a answer by chance ?? :) thanks
Dang I just asked the same question...you didn't by any chance find an answer?
This is amazing!!😍
what are your settings for printing this on a regular inkjet printer?
Very cool! Definitely something I want to try!
What UV light are you using? Is the wavelength and wattage a factor?
No se puede hacer una foto, pero 100% blanco y negro?
Love this ❤

@@dalehammond1704 uv light doesn't go through glass well. Plastic acrylic will maybe work better/faster.
Did 3 hours work for you?@@dalehammond1704
Brilliant work! Thanks!
Hello, i dont have a glass frame to hold down my print, could i just use masking tape instead?
Amazing!! Thanks for share!
Awesome! Have to try it
Lovely stuff - I need to try this! Hope you are recovering well.

Now i have to buy all, to do this! Awesome :D

Would a standard home printer be okay to use on the clear sheets?

Did you get good detail making the negatives on transparency film? I have to ask because in the video it only shows it so far. Thanks in advance.
I just tried to make a print with the very thin plastic using a nail cure lamp and it literally had nothing there was nothing there.
I'm glad you're on the mend. The hydrogen peroxide at the end really seem to make a difference. Do you think time would have got the same result? I'm really surprised at the resolution. I have a kit I really need to get it out.
time will make the same result as Peroxide but you will have to wait 24h or more to see the final color
is it possible for the print to come out different colours? I would love a yellow finish
amazing video, thanks!
Great video - Can i do this with the strips of negatives that came with my old 35mm photos? I know they'd be really small but would it work?
of course it will work
What printer do you use to print the the film transparent film
Does anyone know how long the two solutions will last when they are just mixed with water and not with each other? thanks
This is satisfying
Great stuff !!!
Glad you enjoyed it
Where can I can that chemical to fast the contrast?
Do you have to fix the image like you do with photopaper or is the end result light-safe? Thank you for making this video! this is so cool.
Fantastic video tutorial!! Congrats!! 🎈 🎉 it’s possible apply some chemical product for to have another color or black and gray tones ? (Not blue) thank you so much and best regards!!

Can I do this same process to print on tshirts? Thanks
what kind uv light are you using in this video?
Any idea how many A4 sheets one can 'print' with 100ml bottle of each? More or less...
Love the video ! Don't suppose anyone knows where I could get a stand like that for my uv light! Can't find anything similar online?
Mathieu , I have tried to use a transparent negative print for my cyanotype and bought almost identical Iv lamp to yours (20 watt ) and built a light box out of cardboard- at distance of 10 inch .
Iv tried different exposures timings (18min to 40min ) it won’t print right ... It feels as though perhaps my negative isn’t contrasted enough (?) . It’s very very faint . No details visible
Could you tell me how long you expose your print for ? What lamp you use - is it watercolor paper you print on ? Do you adjust the negative print ?
Any advise would be appreciated
Do you need special ink to print on the film?
How do you invert a pic on an iPhone?
Can I print on the photo paper with regular printer?
Awsome, thanks for sharing !
What kind of printer do you use to get the photos to transfer onto the transparent paper? I tried with mine and it didn't work.
Inkjet printer
Where did you buy the UV lamp???😍
Can I use laser printer for this?
Lovely!
thanks Sina
Magical !
How do your images turn out so crisp? Could it be the paper I’m using? Mine look fuzzy and almost painted-like.
Great video.
My mixture turns dark green when I add them together. Any ideas why?
is the UV lamp the typical Black light or is is UVc or UV b?
Where did you find your vintage printing frame?
Y xq usan la música de Las Hijas de Felipe? Es suya!
Estamos ante una bilocación musical?
I've only made prints from traditional negatives, really interested in using digital. Which printer did you use?
You can use either laser or inkjet, just buy the correct transparency paper for your printer.
How many watts is the UV lamp? Thank you
This is great, what paper did you use and what did you use to print the negative on?
Hi ! What is this UV spotlight you're using ? Do you have a model recommendation ?
