The Image Transfer
Films that can be used include Polaroid colour peel-apart films and Fuji colour peel-apart films only for example Polaroid 669 or Fuji FP-100c.
These days due to availability most emulsion lifts are created using FUJI FP-100c; a colour 3.25"x4.25" sized peel-apart instant film. Similarly to the emulsion lift, an exposure must first be made on the film but after it is pulled it is allowed to develop for a minimal amount of time, often around 10 seconds, although rumour has it that for un-sized print-making paper 14 seconds is the perfect time, at which point in darkness the film is peeled apart and the inner side of the negative is placed wet side down onto a sheet of print-making or handmade paper and firmly rolled down in multiple directions for around a minute at, which point the negative is carefully lifted away, revealing your print.

Famous quotes containing the words the image, image and/or transfer:
““Power may be at the end of a gun,” but sometimes it’s also at the end of the shadow or the image of a gun.”
—Jean Genet (1910–1986)
“The essence of the physicality of the most famous blonde in the world is a wholesome eroticism blurred a little round the edges by the fact she is not quite sure what eroticism is. This gives her her tentative luminosity and what makes her, somehow, always more like her own image in the mirror than she is like herself.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
“I have proceeded ... to prevent the lapse from ... the point of blending between wakefulness and sleep.... Not ... that I can render the point more than a point—but that I can startle myself ... into wakefulness—and thus transfer the point ... into the realm of Memory—convey its impressions,... to a situation where ... I can survey them with the eye of analysis.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
