PHOTOGRAPHIC EMULSION

Easy to use and archivally permanent.

Use Liquid Light® photographic emulsion for prints on wood, glass, ceramics, plastics, china, fabrics, metal, stone, paper, artist's canvas, walls-- even an egg.

Printing with Liquid Light is the same as with black-and-white enlargement paper. Under amber or red safelight, brush the emulsion onto a surface. Expose with an enlarger or slide projector. Process with standard paper developer and fixer.

Prints are archivally-permanent with a full range of tones and transparent highlights that reveal the color and texture of the material underneath. Contrast is medium-high (approximately #3).

Coverage is approximately 1½ square feet per ounce. No fumes, odors or VOC's-- Liquid Light is completely darkroom-safe (see features). Have questions about setting up a darkroom? See FAQ page.

VARIABLE CONTRAST EMULSION

For use with variable-contrast filters.

With polycontrast filters, Liquid Light VC® contrast ranges from 1 (low) to 3.5 (medium high). It has all the features of regular Liquid Light-- easy application, coverage of 1½ square feet or more per ounce and is darkroom safe and fume-free. Liquid Light VC is processed the same as Liquid Light and Ag-Plus but requires a red safelight only.

EXTRA SENSITIVITY EMULSION

For BIG enlargements.

Ag-Plus® photographic emulsion has extra silver halide content especially for use in-camera as for tintypes or ambrotypes, or for making large wall-size enlargements at a considerable distance from the enlarger. Processing and final appearance of prints made with Ag-Plus are the same as Liquid Light. Click for more features.

POLYTONER©

Tones black-and-white prints ANY color.
Polytoner tones prints any color, using color-coupling chemistry: It tones the black image without affecting the highlights. (Effect: A black tree against a white sky, toned with green Polytoner: The sky stays white, the tree becomes green.) Use it with black & white photographic papers and Liquid Light prints. Contains red, yellow and blue couplers that can be blended for secondary colors.

Tones 40 size 8x10 prints..$35.00

PRINTINT© COLORANTS

Make your own pastel papers.
Make pastel papers with Printint, that tints black&white prints any color. (Effect: A black tree against a white sky, tinted in yellow Printint solution: The sky becomes yellow, the tree stays black.) Also use Printint for spot-retouching and hand-coloring of black & white prints, or with Halo-Chrome for silver-on-color prints. Contains primary color concentrates that can be blended.

PRINTSCREEN©

On silk or synthetics..
Rockland PrintScreen emulsion is the best way to make photo silkscreens without special equipment. Just squeegee some emulsion onto a stretched silk or synthetic screen, expose through a line
transparency and wash out the screen by running water to make a durable photographic stencil that resists both water and solvent-based inks.

HALO-CHROME © SILVER TONER

The toner with a Midas touch.

Halo-Chrome transforms black-and-white prints into pure metallic silver, by fusing together the grains into polished silver. (Effect: A black tree framed against a white sky, toned with Halo-Chrome: The tree becomes solid silver while the sky remains white.) Used with Printint, it gives silver-on-color.

Halo-Chrome can also be used to produce a black image against a silver background. (Effect: A black tree against a white sky is toned with Halo-Chrome: The sky becomes solid silver while the tree remains black.) On glossy papers, Halo-Chrome gives a mirror-finish and on matte papers a brushed-silver finish.

Quick Prints by SelectaColor

Description:

SelectaColor© produces brilliant color prints by the photo-resist method (see examples). No darkroom or special equipment is needed-- only a halogen bulb for exposure.

The colors are solid pigments for permanence, not fugitive dyes. Colors can be blended together, or applied in sequence for multicolor prints.

The process consists of just three steps that can be performed under diffuse room light:

1. Brush on SelectaColor.

2. Expose through a transparency.

3. Develop with running water to reveal the brilliant positive image.

Uses of SelectaColor:

  • Color prints.

  • Labels, nameplates, placques.

  • Quick-color proofs.



    Evaluation kit includes 8 oz.(240 cc's) each of black, red, yellow and blue.

    Advanced kit contains the above items plus white and clear.


    Single Colors:

    Half-Pint (240 cc's), $15.00

    Quart (960 cc's), $45.00

  • FA-1 SENSITIZER

    Classic sensitizer for alternative photography.

    An all-in-one alternative sensitizer, FA-1 gives warm black images on paper and cloth. On paper, it can be used for a variety of classical processes including van Dykes (also called brownprints) and kallitypes (that resemble platinum prints.) On t-shirts, it gives a permanent image that does not stiffen the cloth. FA-1 is handled under room light, and requires a negative transparency.

    Makes one quart... ....$35.00

    BLUEPRINT KIT

    All you need is sunlight.
    As the name implies, Blueprints are a rich cyan blue, so are also named Cyanotypes. A transparency or drawing on clear plastic is laid over paper or cloth coated with blueprint solution, sunlight exposes it, and running water is all that's needed to make it permanent.

    Makes one quart........$30.00

    Be your own grandma!
    Our Tintype Parlor is an authentic re-creation of the tintype process, a type of "instant" photography that was popular in your great-grandparent's day. These are authentic dry-plate tintypes, also known as ferrotypes, like those found in antique shops-- not modern imitations. Plates are thin enough to cut with scissors to fit inside any camera. The kit contains everything you need to make tintypes (called ambrotypes if coated on glass.) Tintype materials can also be ordered in bulk quantites for use in old-time photo parlors.

    INKJET TRANSFER PAPERS

    For process-color prints.
    There are two types of transfer papers, dry for absorbent materials and wet for non-absorbent materials.Since most inkjet inks are transparent, these papers work best on light-colored materials.

    Dry transfer paper for absorbent surfaces:

    The image is printed on an inkjet printer then transferred by pressing the paper onto fabric or other surfaces with a household iron. The paper then is peeled away and discarded. The fabric is slightly stiffened but can be comfortably worn, and washed by hand.

    Clear, pack of 10 size 8.5x11....$20.00

    Return to Top



    Wet transfer paper for non-absorbent surfaces:

    The image is printed on an inkjet printer and the paper is sprayed or painted with lacquer or other clear coating (you supply). It is transferred by soaking the paper in water and floating the image onto glass, metal, plastic, etc.

    Clear, pack of 10 size 8.5x11....$20.00

    TRANSPARENCY FILM

    For making full-size negatives or positives.
    Room-light processes like SelectaColor and FA-1 Sensitizer require a full-size transparency. The simplest method is to make one with an injket printer or laser copier plus transparency film. Start with any kind of original-- a black & white print, color print, color slide, book illustration, etc. Scan or photo-copy it, and print with black ink onto transparency film. The film is held in contact with the sensitized surface while exposing with a bright light such as a high power halogen bulb.(Alternate methods: You can take the artwork to any office supply store like Kinko's and order a black & white transparency. Or you can make a transparency photographically by traditional darkroom methods.)
