Use of potassium ferricyanide, ferric ammonium citrate, silver nitrate and tartaric acid in original printmaking

It is studied in four main groups: original print painting, high print, flat print, pit print and sieve print, which have a very important place in the field of plastic arts in terms of its specific materials, techniques, design and construction methods. In this study, substances such as potassium ferricyanide, ferric ammonium citrate, silver nitrate and tartaric acid were mixed with each other in a certain amount of water, resulting in a light-sensitive chemical mixture. After this mixture was applied on paper, it was left to dry, the designed works were drawn on the acetate surface using acrylic paint, these drawings were fixed on the solution paper and exposed in ultraviolet light and as a result print picture was obtained. This interdisciplinary work has taken its place as a different method in the Turkish Art of printmaking.
