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.

I was going to do a project with Lays/Pepsi for 15 carbon prints, but they screwed me over. I have all the materials made, so I’m offering discounted color carbon prints. Size 25x35cm. 700€ instead of 922€. Just send me a file, and I’ll make you an incredible print.

Anja Brown is here for three weeks helping with research for the upcoming book on gum printing. Her main task has been to go through 21 groups of variables that might affect contrast in gum printing. So far we have made it through 3 variables. Screenshot of data analysis of 64 step wedges analyzing coating thickness, development temperature, and exposure time.

Thank you Anja!
