I have not as yet reached success with in-camera Cyanotypes but I have come to learn something else that I think can be helpful to some.

Having only resorted to the rays of the sun for Cyanotype printing, I only recently made the decision to invest in an artificial UV light unit. This decision came about due to the many failed attempts I have had with in-camera Cyanotypes which made me start to think that perhaps I would need to create a new box camera design.

Many ideas flowed which included the thought of adding the element of a UV light source within the new box camera design. This opened my mind to the different characters of UV light which in turn brought me to an understanding that not just any UV light source will work for the Cyanotype process.

The mention of wavelength number 365 nm is so you can use it as a guide, (this number being within a UV light units wavelength range), as I believe that there is room to be slightly below and/or above this number.
