After my trip to hocking hills and the first Polaroid transfers I'd ever done that didn't work I did some research. What I found out:
- black and white film will not work for emulsion transfers [I want to try anyway]
- my hand-made Japanese printmaking paper will work just fine
- pull the film apart as soon as you can get to the paper [receptor]
- IF IT IS TOO COLD the dark areas of the image will not adhere to the paper [receptor]
- use a hairdryer to help adhere the darker areas if you cannot get to a WARM PLACE to create the transfers
I'm glad the answer was out there and that I don't have to pull my hair out next time I go to make the transfers.
