- Cyanotype is a photo printing process to that produces a cyan-blue print. The process uses two chemicals: ammonium iron (lll) citrate and potassium ferricyanide.
-Ammonium iron (lll) citrate and potassium ferricyanide.

-Eye Contact: Check for and remove any contact lenses. In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Cold water may be used. Get medical attention if irritation occurs.
-Skin Contact: Wash with soap and water. Cover the irritated skin with an emollient. Get medical attention if irritation develops. Cold water may be used.

- What color was the cyanotype emulsion when it was applied to the paper? - The cyanotype was a greenish yellow color.
- What happened when it was placed outside in the sunlight? Why? - It changed color because of the sun beaming down on it.
- When your print was removed from the glass and the objects were removed, what did you observe? -My drawing was on the painted paper and the paper was a darker color.
- Describe what happened to the exposed areas of the print and the unexposed areas of the print when it was placed in water. Why do you think this happened? - Some turned darker than others. I think it happened because i didn't get enough of the chemical on my paper.
- Any final thoughts about the way it looks, feels or your observations of the process? - It was really cool how it changed color the hydrogen peroxide made a big difference on the pictures.
