ILFORD GALERIE Creative Emulsion for Fine Art Photographers and Printers now available

Thursday 30. March 2017 - ILFORD Imaging Europe today launched their latest innovative addition to the GALERIE range. The new GALERIE Creative Emulsion offers fine art photographers and printers the opportunity to create truly unique looking prints on the paper of their choice.

GALERIE Creative Emulsion is a water-based inkjet receiving solution that can be applied manually to a range of fine art, washi, cotton, or bamboo papers to create a bespoke look and feel to the final image.
GALERIE Creative Emulsion comes in two blends (A and B) and can be used independently or they can be combined to enhance specific image or finish characteristics that the photographer or printer may want to accentuate.
GALERIE Creative Emulsion Blend A will give good density and sharpness to the image without affecting the texture of the paper. Blend B offers greater sharpness and density to the print but may affect the final texture of the print depending on the paper selected. The Emulsions can be combined to enhance sharpness and density of the image and suggested blend ratios are available at www.ilford.com.
Arnoud Mekenkamp, Managing Director, ILFORD Imaging Europe explains, “Today there are many different types of uncoated fine art, cotton, washi and bamboo papers on the market and the introduction of GALERIE Creative Emulsion allows photographers and fine art printers the ability to create an inkjet print using the paper of their choice.”
Mekenkamp continues “We have created two blends of Creative Emulsion, which we have called A and B, as they can be used independently or can be combined together depending on the final look and finish of the print required. The printer can experiment with the blends in order to create a truly unique look and feel to their work. The inkjet coating solution is easy to apply and after drying is compatible with all photo quality inkjet printers in the market today.”
ILFORD GALERIE Creative Emulsion is available in 1 litre bottles. ILFORD have also launched the GALERIE Creative Emulsion coating bar that will be required to apply the coating.
