🌞 High Sensitivity SunCreations Cyanotype Paper for Sunprint Nature Printing, 8.2'' x 11.4'' A4 Size, 12-Sheets Activated by Sun/Solar (PaleBlue Back) Review

However, these bags are very kid and beginner friendly since you don't have to mix the chemicals or coat the paper yourself. I tore off a few sheets (away from UV) so everyone had more tries which was great.

I have tried several types of cyanotype paper over the past two years and have always been disappointed with SunCreations products. I've tried four types of their cyanotype paper and found that each type has the same problems: The cyanotype chemicals don't spread evenly to the paper surface.
