Digital BW, The Print

Doug,

I did a search on Google for ferrotype and came up with:

http://www.alternativephotography.com/process_tintype.html

They give instructions on how to do it yourself.  You will need a positive (slide), but there are a number of ways to get those.  Maybe someone at that
site can tell you where it can be done (or is willing to do it for you).

Have fun!

John

There are a handful of people still doing the original ferrotypes. Contact Will Dunniway at http://www.collodion-artist.com . He has an exhibition on at the moment and may not answer immediately, but he knows pretty much everyone who still does wet-plate collodion photography these days, so if he himself can't help, he may know someone who can.

  Subject: [Digital BW] Ferrotype print from digital file?


  Does anyone know if  there is a service out there that will 
  produce a ferrotype print from a digital file?  Can't seem to find 
  anything on the net.   Maybe the two technologies are 
  incompatible?
    thanks,  doug

While Will Dunniway is a master at many of those wonderful old techniques, he does 
have quite a few of his fine art wet plate collodion images printed as limited edition 
giclees via Epson 9600. If anyone is in Southern California and would like to see his 
stuff, he will be showing at Bella Gallery in Lake Elsinore opening Sept 27th.

(pardon the plug - but I am honored to be the one doing the printing.)
