Description of the digital emulsion transfer technique

It is a technique I have developed personally, inspired by the classic emulsion transfer of Polaroid instant film, but adapted to the digital workflow.
It consists of printing an image with pigment inks onto a prepared support so that, when immersed in cold water, the ink layer (the emulsion) can detach and be manually transferred to a quality art paper.
During the process the image is manipulated directly, generating subtle 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 and a handcrafted finish, with an image protected by a coating film that prevents easy scratching and offers good durability.
