Lest anyone think I've succumbed totally to Snapseed digital madness, I thought I do some old-fashioned analogue print making today. This are emulsion lift prints on Spürsinn Smooth White paper from an Impossible PX-70 Color Protection print.
The subject is the Statue of Eros at Piccadilly Cirus in London.
This is the first time I've made emulsion lift prints using Impossible colour film and it was a bit more difficult that making prints using Polaroid SX-70 film. Normally I lift the emulsion out of the hot water tray to a tray of cold water which makes getting it fairly flat much easier as you can put your fingers in the water without worry.
But the Impossible emulsion went rather stiff when I did this so the whole process had to be done is a tray of hot water, which made things a bit tricky.
Also, the rubbery residue on the back of the emulsion layer comes away from a Polaroid print before the emulsion starts to separate from the transparent mylar layer. But that's not the case with Impossible film, hence all the white flecks on these prints.
If anyone has any tips for making emulsion lift prints from Impossible colour film please let me know!
