The Wet Print

The Wet Print The Wet Print is a printing studio specializing in the 19th century carbon transfer process. Characteristics of a carbon transfer print.

Archival Stability: No other photograph will last as long. Since the prints are made of pure carbon pigment, they will never fade. Exclusivity: Even more so than a platinum print, carbon prints are enormously difficult, time consuming and expensive to make. Paper: Since the photo will never fade, the paper must last as long as possible. I print on the highest quality and heaviest pure cotton water

color papers available. Smooth Highlights: A shortfall in most carbon prints. With my method, I can create highlights that transition delicately from paper white without visible grain. Clarity and Dimension: Tonality in a carbon print is achieved through thick and thin layers of pigmented gelatin. The dark areas are raised up like relief on a topographical map giving the print an incredible sense of dimension and clarity. Durability: Even well made and conserved silver or platinum prints have many archival issues. The carbon print has been around for 150 years and its durability is proven. One can rub a coin aggressively against the surface of a carbon print and not make a scratch. Pigments: Any pigment can be used to create any effect. Imagine a photograph of a nude model covered in gold paint. An inkjet print of that photo would result in nothing more than a yellow looking model. With a carbon print, metallic pigments or even powdered gold could be used to print the model's body. This would result in a photograph true to the photographers intentions. Rich Blacks: No other photographic process can produce blacks as dark as the carbon process or separate tones in the shadows as well. Luxurious Texture: The texture of a carbon print is an extraordinary thing. The pigment and gelatin perfectly follow the contour of the fibers of the paper resulting in an image rich in dimension and quality more than anything else. One of a Kind: Handmade prints are works of art, not copies of it. Like snowflakes, no two are exactly the same. One can prints hundreds of copies of a photo on an inkjet printer, but they are just copies and not original works of art.

Ten weeks of work, but definitely worth it. The ceiling is a wave like that of water in a developing tray. The lighting over the library is a histogram.

Cyan pigment is back in stock. I have also updated the yellow. This yellow maintains the extreme lightfastness of the last version, but it is now easy to coat.
