HARMAN DIRECT POSITIVE RC IS A HIGH QUALITY, TRADITIONAL SILVER
GELATINE BLACK AND WHITE, HIGH CONTRAST PAPER ON A 190g/m2 RESIN COATED
BASE WHICH PRODUCES DIRECT POSITIVE PRINTS (MIRROR, INVERTED IMAGES)
WITHOUT A FILM NEGATIVE.
HARMAN DIRECT POSITIVE RC paper is primarily suited for use in
pinhole cameras where exposure and processing in conventional black and
white photo chemistry achieves a unique positive print - without the
need for a film negative or inter-negative.
HARMAN DIRECT POSITIVE RC
paper can also be successfully used in other applications such as
direct exposure in large format cameras (sheet sizes 4x5 inch up to
11x14 inch) or by cutting small sheets for exposure in Holga type cameras.
Creative and unusual effects can be achieved with direct positive paper
when used to make photograms or perhaps substituted for standard photo
paper when printing from negatives in an enlarger. Whatever the
application, this paper can achieve unique photo images as well as fun
effects.
KEY FEATURES
- Genuine silver gelatine photo paper, coated on resin-coated base.
- Positive paper enables prints to be generated without the need for a negative.
- Fixed
grade, high contrast paper (similar to ILFORD MULTIGRADE grade 3.5 -
4), but still capable of generating good tonal gradations when
"pre-flashed" during exposure stages.
- Fully compatible with conventional black and white paper processing chemistry.
- Available
in a Glossy surface (comparable to ILFORD MULTIGRADE IV RC Glossy) and a
Luster surface (comparable to ILFORD MULTIGRADE IV RC Pearl).
- Slow ISO speed (around ISO 4-6), enabling a good latitude of control.
- Compatible with Ortho (deep red) safelights.
SAFELIGHT RECOMMENDATIONS
Unexposed
paper must only be used with Ortho (deep red) safelight such as ILFORD
906 containing a 15W bulb or equivalent. As a precaution against
fogging, it is advised that the light be a minimum of 1.2m/4ft from the
paper at all times. Safelight exposure should be kept to a minimum and
unused paper returned to its original packaging for storage.
