Black
and white fiber-based paper print. The silver is applied to the
paper in a gelatin base. Produces very rich blacks and luminous
middle grey-tones. The finished print is usually processed in a
dilute selenium toning bath to increase the stability of the print.
Some prints are toned with gold or sepia. This type of print will
last indefinitely if properly stored or displayed.
Polaroid
image transfer print
Print
made using a transparency in an enlarger to expose a sheet of Polaroid
film. The negative portion of the paper is separated from Polaroid's
glossy receptor sheet and pressed onto pre-dampened watercolor paper.
The dyes from the Polaroid then transfer into the watercolor paper,
producing a unique print.
digital
print
Print
made from a digital file that was either captured with a digital
camera or scanned from a print, negative, or transparency. Inkjet
prints are the most common type of digital prints. A variety of
papers and other surfaces are available, including traditional photographic
papers in glossy or matte; 100% rag papers; and canvas or linen.
