SunnyMaster W330 SunPrint Paper 🌞 Kit: Harness the Power of the Sun! Review

I received this kit after reading about Anna Atkins who was the first to use this technique and I really like it. The process is simple, the instructions are clear, and the end product is great. A great art and/or science project for a beginner or college-aged photographer like me.

I experimented with this paper using different exposure times and light sources. I've tried setting 3 to 45 minutes. I tried using the sun, UV lamps and fluorescent lamps. I only opened the container the paper was shipped in while in a completely dark cupboard. I haven't been able to get decent contrast in my prints. There is no pure white and dark blue as shown in the pictures. I get only slightly different shades of light blue and hardly define the outlines of the objects I'm using.

These sheets are always fun. You can use almost any household or natural item to make cool cyanotypes. If you go multiple times, wear sunscreen! This size is good because you can cut the paper into odder sizes rather than smaller squares. However, there is a small problem. The included acrylic sheet is static and attracts dust and lint. If you have pets or spilled fabric, it becomes useless almost immediately. It is better to use a glass pane with ground edges.

The instructor on my history of photography course in college wanted the class to choose a photographer/19th century photographer and create their own artwork. I've already decided to write my final article on Anna Atkins. I played around with the 3D objects, the negative contact print and finally glued the 8x10 print side down to create a giant negative. Cool thing. I exposed the 3D material in direct sunlight for 1-2 minutes, the B&W negatives for 3 minutes and the print for 50 minutes…

So, it's a stack of paper. This is very useful in printers. That's what we use it for and it worked surprisingly well. It glides on smoothly and soaks up ink like a champ. We also experimented with using it as a paperweight. It worked well. That's a decent doorstop. Something like. You can play ball with it, but once the packaging breaks, it's no longer fun. We also tried it with barbecue sauce. EPIC FAILURE. If you only plan to use this paper in your printer, this is a winner. If you're…

The paper worked fine. It didn't fog up so the picture was clear. We used a drop of hydrogen peroxide to deepen the blue to make it work. Exposure ranged from 2 minutes in the sun to over 15 minutes on a dark overcast day. It was a fun project. The paper is very thin, like old blueprints. That's fine, but I used a different cyanotype paper that was as thick as the watercolor paper and produced a denser print. I have no problem with it being thin but those looking for a paper weight for drawing…

If I wanted to do crafts with younger kids to demonstrate the cyanotype or sunprint technique and didn't want to spend too much but didn't really care about quality, this paper will do. However, I was hoping that the thickness of the paper would be greater than very light carbon paper. The paper dried very wrinkled and curled because it is so thin. The prints themselves were very light, even with longer exposure times, so bathing in a cap of peroxide and water brought the color closer to the…
