Description of the digital emulsion transfer technique
It is a technique I have personally developed, inspired by the classic emulsion transfer of Polaroid instant film, but adapted to a digital workflow.
It consists of printing an image with pigment inks on a prepared support so that, when immersed 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—from 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 film that covers it, so it does not scratch easily and offers good durability.
