a digital reproduction of cyanotype print
I embarked on my exploration of cyanotype printing approximately a decade ago, and it has proven to be an exceptionally enjoyable and deeply fulfilling artistic process to engage in. Cyanotype printing, often referred to as blueprinting, is a fascinating and distinctive photographic technique that produces a striking blue image against a stark white or light-colored background. This artistic method is relatively simple and cost-effective, involving the exposure of a light-sensitive emulsion to ultraviolet (UV) light, which typically comes from sunlight, allowing for a unique interplay of light and shadow. The final result is a captivating silhouette of the objects that have been meticulously placed on the sensitized paper, culminating in a beautifully unique artistic effect that is both visually appealing and intriguingly dynamic.
I utilize a digital reprographic process to produce these prints, which enhances their accessibility. The process of scanning a cyanotype print and then printing a copy on an inkjet printer can be described as a form of digital reprographic art. The cyanotype print is scanned to create a high-quality digital image, which is subsequently printed using advanced inkjet technology onto a variety of paper or other media, thus allowing for the digital reproduction of the original cyanotype.
