Description of the digital emulsion transfer technique

It is a technique I have developed personally, inspired by the classic transfer of the emulsion from Polaroid instant film, but adapted to the digital workflow.
It consists of printing an image with pigmented inks onto a substrate prepared so that, when submerged in cold water, the ink layer (the emulsion) can be separated and 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 artisanal finish, with an image protected by a film that covers it, so it is not easily scratched and has good durability.
