The PAR Lumen Printing Postcard Kit allows for you to experiment with an analog photographic technique that works with the sun: lumen printing.

Whats takes place in this process is a reaction that turns the portion of the sheet exposed to sunlight a pink/purple and beige/grey tint. Meanwhile the unexposed areas remain white. Resulting in some truely luminous rosy effects.

You can place all kinds of objects on the treated paper, natural materials, your favourite objects. Just put it in the sun for a moment and you will see it change colour! With this kit, you can mix and apply the photographic materials yourself—enough for the postcards in the kit and a little extra to experiment further on your own.
