Fuji transfer
The
Fuji transfer (also known as the
Fuji photo-transfer or
Fuji image-transfer) is a process of photo-image transferring using
Fuji instant pull-apart film type FP100c (also formerly marketed under
Polaroid brand type 689) and similar in general standard photo application uses to the popular Polaroid brand pull-apart film type 669. Similar in only some respects to the common
Polaroid transfer, the
Fuji transfer process was pioneered and developed by photo-transfer artist
Peter G. Balazsy in 1992-94.
Using a
camera, enlarger, slide printer or Day Lab expose Fuji FP100c film, develop by pulling the film from the holder. Wait about 20 seconds and quickly pull the film apart (no light), not letting the two sides (the picture and the negative) touch. Put the pulled apart negative face down on print-making artist's paper (no sizing) such as "Arches 88" or other similar material. Place rolling-type pressure over negative and roll hard with rubber brayer, usually not longer than 20–40 seconds. (In light) Peel the negative from the paper. Allow transfer to air dry for a minute or so, face up.
* Printmaking paper (or watercolor paper) is generally a good paper to use for this process.
* Keep in mind that you can use most absorbent paper surfaces.
* Do
not wet the paper as in typical Polaroid transfers. The paper should be dry.
* May be artistically re-worked with colored pencils or any non-wet coloring method.
* Bright light or sunlight (UV) can cause fading of transfer over time.
