A POLAROID TRANSFER WAS MADE FROM A COLOR SLIDE USING 669

POLAROID FILM IN A VIVITAR INSTANT SLIDE PRINTER. THE TRANSFER WAS

PHOTOGRAPHED AS A SLIDE.

THE SLIDE WAS USED TO MAKE COLOR SEPARATED NEGATIVES.

TO MAKE THE SEPARATIONS, THE SLIDE WAS EXPOSED TO GREEN, RED AND

BLUE FILTERS ONTO 4X5 KODAK SUPER XX FILM OR T-MAX 100. THE COLOR

SEPARATIONS WERE THEN USED TO MAKE CYAN, MAGENTA, YELLOW AND

BLACK POSITIVES. SIX HIGH CONTRAST POSITIVES WERE MADE FOR EACH OF

THE COLORS. THE NEGATIVES WERE EXPOSED SO THE RESULTING POSITIVES

WENT FROM THE SHADOW (OVEREXPOSED) TO THE HIGHLIGHT AREAS

(UNDEREXPOSED). TRANSPARENT INKS WERE USED TO PRINT THE IMAGE. FIRST,

THE POSITIVE THAT WOULD PRINT THE LARGEST AREA WAS PRINTED WITH THE

MOST TRANSPARENT COLOR. THE SEQUENCE OF COLORS WAS MAGENTA,

YELLOW, BLUE AND BLACK AND THE INTENSITY OF THE COLOR WAS

INCREASED AS THE PRINTED AREA DECREASED. WATER-BASED INK AND

LENNOX 100 PAPER WERE USED TO MAKE THE PRINT.
