Description of the digital emulsion transfer technique

This is a technique I have developed personally, inspired by the classic emulsions transfer of Polaroid instant film, but adapted to the digital workflow.
It consists of printing an image with pigment inks on a support prepared so that, when submerged in cold water, the ink layer (the emulsion) can separate and be manually transferred to a high-quality art paper. During the process the image is directly manipulated, generating slight variations, textures, and folds that make each copy a unique piece.
Transfers can be made in different sizes —up to A2— and in color as well as black and white. The result combines digital precision with handmade finish, with an image protected by a coating that covers it, so it resists scratching and has good durability.
