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 on a support prepared so that, when submerged in cold water, the ink layer (the emulsion) can detach 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 both color and black and white. The result combines digital precision and artisan finish, with an image protected by a film that covers it, so it does not scratch easily and offers good durability.
