Worth noting that Potassium Ferricyanide, one of the two active chemicals in this process, is quite toxic and poses significant environmental hazard [1]. I might suggest Anthotype [2] instead, which is just Vodka, Turmeric, and Borax. The resulting print is a lovely red/orange rather than blue, and there's significantly less concern over chemical cleanup & disposal. Also the exposure is long enough that you don't even need a dark room!
