In this video, I'll be using the ferric chloride that I made in the last one, to make ferric ammonium citrate. This new iron compound is sensitive to UV and I'll use it to make my own blueprint. In the next and last video, I'll be making some high quality cyanotypes and exploring the process in more detail.
Procedure: goo.gl/4VEsaA

Blueprints were still going strong back in the 80's when I worked in a design office. Certainly back then it was difficult to photocopy the A1 and A0 sized paper that much of their design work was done on, so the semi-transparent originals were fed through a semi-automatic blueprint machine which did the UV exposure and curing for you. I still remember the reek of Ammonia in that office!

In 5th grade, they gave us each a stack of blue UV-sensitive paper, and we had a section of the classroom set up as a makeshift darkroom, with a dim red light, trays of various things (water, some fixatives or other, heck if I remember anymore), a string with clothespins on it... It was hell of fun, and we felt like we were Serious Artists, although how many silhouettes of leaves and outlines of hands does one classroom really NEED, eh?

This was really cool to see. My father used to circuit diagrams with cyanotype to both verify the transparency blocks enough UV to produce a good circuit board as well as to create the circuit diagram that would be included with the board (usually slide into a clear plastic sleeve inside the casing of whatever the board went into. I was very young at the time, around 8 years old and have wondered ever since how he managed to produce the beautiful blue diagrams using the same transparency that was used for the board. This video really brought back some memories. A nice addendum to this technique is that you can print onto the transparencies using an inkjet printer if you set the printer to gray scale and ramp up the print quality (note that some printers cheat on gray scale and mix in color to reduce black ink usage).

I followed the procedure and everything looked exactly what you got, however when I mixed the solutions of the ferric ammonium citrate and the potassium ferricyanide I got lots of prussian blue, i have worked in low light far from UV lights so I don't know what is going on. Edit:How to solve this below Update: I finally fixed the problem, well it was obvious that I was getting some iron (II) contamination but i didn't knew were it came from but after some experimenting I found the cause to be my bad quality ferric chloride, it was contaminated with lots of iron (II) plus while it was supposed to be 20% was actually a 32% solution so I ended up with a large excess of uncomplexed iron (II). To avoid this problem in the first place I would recommend to add some hydrogen peroxide to your iron hydroxide to be sure its fully oxidized, It should look reddish not black as in the video. In case your Ferric ammonium citrate ends up like mine it can be fixed easily by adding some hydrogen peroxide drop wise until it becomes slightly brown, then add drop wise a saturated solution of ammonium citrate and mix until it becomes slightly green, let it rest for a few minutes and test the solution, if it keeps turning blue when mixed with the potassium ferricyanide add more Ammonium citrate solution, keep doing this until you no longer get the blue color. Also I made Ferric ammonium oxalate and its much easier to make plus is far more sensitive to light than the citrate, the only problem is that it leaves a rusty tinge on paper so not ideal for cyanotype but amazing for ferric gelatin (holography) experiments.

How does one get in touch here? Thanks for that info. For the last few weeks I've been working on this and using different sources of iron, with mixed results. Don't know enough to be able to figure things out myself. I have currently a batch (made from purchased iron filings) that is red. I also bubbled air through it for a few days before adding H2O2. I believe that Mike Ware's new cyanotype formula uses ferric ammonium oxalate; how did you make it?

​@@sizzlenotsteak To make the ferric ammonium oxalate, prepare iron hydroxide in the same way as when you make it for the ferric ammonium citrate, then once you have your iron hydroxide add a saturated solution of oxalic acid, i recommend to do this on a hot plate, I made it around 80C° but shouldn't matter the temperature, add the solution until all the iron hydroxide dissolves and the solution becomes acidic then let it cool, it should look yellow-green wit no precipitate, if you have precipitate filter it because that is likely ferrous oxalate so not good, we need ferric oxalate which is soluble and in oxidation state III. Prepare a saturated ammonium oxalate solution and add it to the ferric oxalate solution you prepared earlier, it will become brilliant green, that's the ferric ammonium oxalate. I didn't used any stochiometry when i made mine, it was just a quick test to see if it worked so i just added an excess of ammonium oxalate, you can add a few drops of H2O2 at this point just to be sure its fully oxidized to iron III, just a little H2O2 there is no need to add too much. To remove most of the excess ammonium oxalate I boiled down the solution until the excess ammonium oxalate started precipitating, filtered it and then put it on the fridge to cool to crystallize as much ammonium oxalate as possible and filtered it again. Its hard to crystallize the ferric ammonium oxalate its very soluble but you can let the solution fully evaporate so it crystallizes as emerald color crystals, it will have a lot of the ammonium oxalate though but seems still works good enough for cyanotypes and ferric gelatin (if you are into holography). It seems that ferric potassium oxalate might be easier to make because it has lower solubility therefore much easier to purify by crystallization, i haven't tried it yet but if i do i post results here. Just some notes I might add, the ferric oxalate and the ferric ammonium oxalate are more light sensitive than the citrate so try working far from daylight or anything with too much blue or UV light, the drops of H2O2 added in one of the steps help to convert back any photoreduced iron so it should be ok to work under good ilumination, like warm LED lights or incandescent. Good luck!

That's the way very, very old blueprints were made. I'm an Olde-Timey Civil Engineer, and the blueprints we made were the opposite of what was shown. The background remained white, while the drafted work was dark. We would use blacks pens and pencils for drafting, and LeRoy lettering stencils for notes. For construction lines, we would use blue pencils (as they would not show up on the print), while red pencils were used for lighter lines, such as dimension extension lines. Ammonia was used to cure the print, and I remember many a day spent in a poorly ventilated print room running drawings. This was circa 1985 until about 2002.

Fifty years ago, I had a summer job that involved blueprints. I worked next to a huge machine that made prints that were six feet wide. A big tank of anhydrous ammonia fed into the machine, and the guy who operated the machine told me that the ammonia fumes "developed" the prints. And all the blueprints I handled (not just from the big machine) smelled of ammonia. What does this have to do with the process you just demonstrated?

That is Diazo print, also known as Diazotype, Dyline print, Whiteprint and blueline print. It was a lot cheaper and easier than the cyanotype/blueprint process but unlike cyanotype the prints have limited durability and will fade if exposed to light for a few weeks. Wikipedia has a good description of the process under 'Whiteprint'.

For evaporation water and solidifying stuff, why don't you line the dish with cling film? When it is fully evaporated, I imagine it'll be much simpler to take the cling film away than to evaporate it on the dish itself and end up with a lot of residual chemicals stuck to the dish

I wonder about that myself - would the solution react with the cling film? Or maybe use a tupperware sort of thing that you could twist and the stuff would come off?

If a substance that sticky starts to stick to your cling film, I don't think you'd get it off without ripping the thin stretchy plastic and ending up with a lot of shredded plastic in your product.

I've been wanting to try this process out for ages, but never got round to it... if it's this simple, I might just have to get a cyanotype kit and try it out! A little part of me is trying to figure out a way to make a cyanotype print from a film negative. For full analogue I suspect you'd have to enlarge onto large-format film sheets (which is a fair bit of effort); with digital you could take a scan the film and print it onto OHP transparency. Hmm.
