Cyanotype, also known as sun printing, uses natural UV light to burn an image into chemically treated paper. It has historically been used as a simple, inexpensive way to create copies of architectural drawings, also known as blueprints. The two chemicals used to treat the paper are ferric ammonium citrate and potassium ferricyanide.
