Cyanotypes
Image Tone Cyanotypes are immediately recognizable by their cyan image color. The process has been used to produce photographs, but it was also notably the process used to produce architectural and design blue prints. While most prints of this color are cyanotypes, photo-mechanical prints and even photographic prints of different processes have been produced in a similar color. |

Sheen Cyanotypes are always matte, because they have no binder layer and thus retain all of the surface qualities of the paper they were produced on. |

Layer Structure Cyanotypes are made on papers without a surface coating such as a baryta layer. Due to the absence of such a layer paper fibers can be clearly seen under relatively low magnification. |
