Description of the digital emulsion transfer technique

It is a technique I have perfected personally, inspired by the classic transfer of the emulsion of Polaroid instant film, but adapted to the digital workflow.
It consists of printing an image with pigment inks on a prepared support so that, when submerged in cold water, the ink layer (the emulsion) can detach and be manually transferred to a high-quality artist paper. During the process the image is manipulated directly, generating slight variations, textures and creases 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 and artisanal finish, with an image protected by a coating film that covers it, so it does not scratch easily and has good durability.
