Thank you for your information
It sounds as if you are describing emulsion transfer (boiling print etc),
which I have had no problems with at all! Actually, I have been doing
primarily emulsion lifts onto various papers, boards, silver mylar - even
paper bags - and this is what I find so amazing about it.
So the question - are your students trying polaroid emulsion lifts or image
tranfers onto their Docs? hahaha
What a hoot!
thanks
