Description of the digital emulsion transfer technique

It is a technique I have personally refined, inspired by the classic Polaroid instant film emulsion transfer, but adapted to the digital workflow.
It consists of printing an image with pigment inks on a prepared surface 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 manipulated directly, 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 or black and white. The result combines digital precision with an artisanal finish, with an image protected by a coating film that covers it, so it resists scratching and offers good durability.
