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 image and/or transfer:
“The colicky baby who becomes calm, the quiet infant who throws temper tantrums at two, the wild child at four who becomes serious and studious at six all seem to surprise their parents. It is difficult to let go of one’s image of a child, say goodbye to the child a parent knows, and get accustomed to this slightly new child inhabiting the known child’s body.”
—Ellen Galinsky (20th century)
“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)
