Why are SelectaColor and Pyrofoto often called “room light” processes?
Because unlike emulsions, they do not require a darkroom and can be handled under subdued room light. They include SelectaColor, Pyrofoto, FA-1, Blueprint and other alternative processes. They are contact-printed under a full-size negative, using bright lamps like a halogen bulb, or sunlight. SelectaColor is for high-contrast pigment-base prints on metal, wood, paper and most surfaces. Pyrofoto is exclusively for firing images on ceramics and glass, as the image consists of color glazes. FA-1 Sensitizer is for images on porous fabrics like T-shirts, also re-creating classic processes. Back to top Room light processes require a full-size negative for contact-printing. I’d like to make such a negative from a color print. How do I go about it? Formerly, full size negative transparencies could only be made photographically, but now they can be made digitally with any inkjet or laser printer or photo-copier. See “Transparencies” on the Products page. Back to top I’d like to transfer a color
