Polaroid Art - The Image Transfer

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:

    In this choice of inheritance we have given to our frame of polity the image of a relation in blood; binding up the constitution of our country with our dearest domestic ties; adopting our fundamental laws into the bosom of our family affections; keeping inseparable and cherishing with the warmth of all their combined and mutually reflected charities, our state, our hearths, our sepulchres, and our altars.
    Edmund Burke (1729–1797)

    If it had not been for storytelling, the black family would not have survived. It was the responsibility of the Uncle Remus types to transfer philosophies, attitudes, values, and advice, by way of storytelling using creatures in the woods as symbols.
    Jackie Torrence (b. 1944)
