A Cyanotype Formula from Scratch

The Cyanotype process is a non-silver printing process that uses a mixture of two iron compounds, (Ferric Ammonium Citrate,(GREEN) and Potassium Ferricyanide).

If you do decide to make your own formula from scratch, be sure that you buy the Ferric Ammoniums Citrate that it is the "Ferric Ammonium Citrate GREEN". I am mentioning this is because there is a Ferric Ammonium Citrate "BROWN". This is the one you do not want to get as it will not work out well with the Cyanotype process.
