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:
““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)
“No sociologist ... should think himself too good, even in his old age, to make tens of thousands of quite trivial computations in his head and perhaps for months at a time. One cannot with impunity try to transfer this task entirely to mechanical assistants if one wishes to figure something, even though the final result is often small indeed.”
—Max Weber (1864–1920)
