Introducing Solar Print by Herchel – the simple way to create cool art using just the sun. This sun print paper lets you make awesome and unique art with minimal effort. In 1892 John Hershel published research on the use of iron compounds with light-sensitive materials, a pivotal step in the creation of the Cyanotype, also known as the Solar Print. This innovative photographic technique involved exposing materials coated with iron salts to sunlight, resulting in the creation of striking blue and white images. Our Sun Print Paper brings this historical process to your fingertips. Just place a fern, flower, or whatever you like on the special paper, leave it in the sun for a bit, then rinse it with water.
