Darkroom Printing On Fabric with the ADOX Polywarmtone Emulsion

- Printing with the ADOX Polywamtone emulsion on textiles! A product with a long crazy history, finally came to life in a form which allows limitless creativity! It can be coated on bricks, papers, even walls! But in this video, I am focusing on textiles. I made a bunch of prints on tote bags, pouches and jackets from 35mm film, with a lot of mistakes along the way... and this is how this video came to life :) The emulsion itself is soooo beautiful. Sharpness, depth of blacks, and the legendary warm tone.

I like it! Already thinking about how I can do this to make gifts for people.
You can 3D print a cover for the sous vide to block the light from the display or put an empty photo paper bag over it.
Didn’t finish watching yet but I saw your Tik Toks on this and I’m looking forward to your tips!
Thanks for the support on TikTok! :) :)
does the emulsion itself just have silver or does it have gelatin in it also? what exactly IS the product?
I'd love to use something like this to print on proper Washi paper
I’ve been doing cyanotype and dry plate all week, not well either aside from today. I’m all 1900’s. I like textile. My wife makes handbags. I see a mashup!
Wow! It's a match! It should surely work on leather too. But if it's a product for sale, possibly you wanna coat with something stronger than this varnish, maybe with latex?
@@linabessonova Ya. I don't think we're there yet;) But surely keeping it on textiles.
I am wondering what those Adox papers are like.
They had one of those cooking devices at a local discounter for 50 Euros, which then was discounted to 35 Euros. At some point I could not resist anymore and at whilie paying I realized it was already further discounted but not labeled as so. So I left the store and just paid 20 Euros. :D So even if its not ideal its okay I think.
I got it for the C41 process, but still did not manage to purchase a dev kit again. xD
Lucky you! I got mine for more, but also not 100% price. Black Fridays help :D
TikTok brought me here ! (cement print) ;)
Hi there, why do you use the hardener?
so that the emulsion is more resistant! Then I can wash longer.
@@linabessonova thanks for the info :)
Thank you for your video and I am glad I found your channel. Your printing technic is absolutely fantastic.
This emulsion Print are great if you do it on a canvas and frame it as a classic photo frame. If you do this again on special photo papers it'll give very special hand made fine arts .
Thanks a lot for the tips and saving time for us, great job! 😍
Amazing !!! o/
I wish this was available in the us.
That's very interesting :-)
Lovely!! You could glue red foil over the display to make it Darkroom safe :-)
That's true, I even have a spare red filter! Why didn't I think of it... :D
Great fun! Thank you xx
print a 3D cap for your cooking device to seal the display (black plastic)
That's genius. We even have a 3d printer! Thank you!
@@linabessonova I have a model for Cinestil TCS1000.
Thanks for the info on video.
I would like to print B&W on canvas but I don't have a photo enlarger, I wondered if this can be done with a projector instead?
Привіт! А можна з амбротипу мокроколодійного надрукувати фотозбільшувачем фото? Я не зустрічав у нас в Україні великих фотозбільшувачів більших ніж 6\9см.
Do you have a tutorial using the Adox polywarmtone emulsion on glass plates? I would love to see that. Thanks
I have red insulation tape over the blue display on my sous vide cooker - plus a cloth bag when I'm not looking at it!
Lina, if you are having trouble "coating the emulsions" give Lost Light Art an email, there, a guy does Wet Plate (aka colloiden onto glass and dry plates) this is how he does it, by coating the glass, so he may have some good tips for you. ( Hint: he also sells 'ready to go" plates, pre-coated).
Great video! I hear you on the challenges keeping the water bath at 45 degrees, lol. Definitely ordering one of those Cinestills things when they get back in stock. Got my stash of emulsion, undercoat and hardener in the fridge and I'm really excited to try it out.
Amazing, hope it all works out super well!
Those cinestill things are aquarium heaters but 10x the price :)
Great video, thank you so much. Do you know if it is possible to do a colour print on fabric?
All the best.
Do you think it can be use arabic gum for the coating instead the colloida c?
Will the emulsion work on canvas? Like fine canvas used for oil painting?
By the way, New subscriber here great instructional videos!!!
Hi and welcome! I tried it on grounded canvas, and the emulsion slid off! I did no gelatine coat though. However, I got a super beautiful effect instagram.com/p/CMPnfmXrWdq/
Sometimes, those alternative processes can be a lot of work, but the results you get out of them are topnotch :D Carbon printing is probably the worst for complexity, that and wet plate. If you've seen Borut Peterlin's channel, he goes to crazy lengths to get a print!!! Mad guy, though!!! :D :P Knows his stuff. Thing with carbon printing is its resiliency. Just a pity it can be a PITA to accomplish!!!
Ooh, I was just thinking...maybe there's some spray on, or, something you could coat your prints with that will protect them. Like a layer of silicone or something similar? Might be something to look into, see if there's anything like that around.
There is liquid latex, and I tried it on one of the prints, now waiting whether it will go bad or not :D
Thanks for the tip about the channel, I will check it out!
Alternative processes are absolutely beautiful, but I could never make them work...
Maybe you need to stick your tongue out at a different angle :D :P :P Then it'll work for you :D
Добрый день! А вы пробовали использовать цифровой прожектор вместо аналогово увеличителя? Для печати например в больших форматах?
Не-а, не пробовала! У меня всё традиционно как-то :)
What a lot of extra work... I think I'll stick to readily available paper ;)
By the way, are you planning to give workshops in Berlin too? Whenever this virus and the restrictions are over.
Yes, A LOT of work! For real! But I kind of got used to it already ...
We are trying to set up a darkroom in Berlin, so maybe I will be doing something. Depending on how the place turns out! :)
@@linabessonova It will turn out good, I have faith in you ;)
I wonder if it would melt in a tank that's warmed by an aquarium heater?
As long as it can keep the water at 45 degrees Celsius, it should work. I have been using a darkroom warming tray from kaiser (old equipment) with a water bath on top. But the thermostat in that is not stable enough so I'm replacing it with a Cinestills gizmo.
I saw your video on concrete (cement) and I totally love the idea to create new work, can you elaborate on what chemical to used, how or where I can learn the process.
Here are the instructions m.adoxphoto.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/PW-instructions-EN_img.pdf , and most of the info you get there (and in my video!). I honestly don't really know where else to look for info, I learned everything by trial and error. It's not awfully difficult.
All chemicals, except emulsion hardener, are regular ones for normal printing!
@@linabessonova thanks very much
lina, a quite interesting variation of a process called 'silk_screen_printing", but here, a photo is made onto a silk screen, and ink is spread onto the cloth through the screen, processing of the screen makes holes where the exposed parts were, and leaves the rest, ink flows through, and makes a "positive", like darkroom enlargers do.
dont think you need to explain what silkscreening is
What red light do you use?
It's something I got by searching for "RED LED HEADLAMP" on Amazon. I have of two different brands, both are remarkably safe, if you don't put them, like, really against the paper.
