HOW TO TRANSFER PHOTOS TO OTHER

HOW TO TRANSFER PHOTOS TO OTHER

OBJECTS!

You can transfer a photo or snapshot from a negative onto wood,

cloth, paper, etc. All printing is done from the negative not

from the photo. Prepare two simple solutions as follows:

SOLUTION 1:

Dissolve in 6 fluid ounces of distilled water: 1/4 ounce of

Silver Nitrate 1/4 ounce of Ferric Ammonium Citrate 1/4 ounce of

Citric Acid Stir until dissolved and pour the contents into a

dark bottle until ready to use.

SOLUTION 2:

Dissolve 1/4 ounce Sodium Thiosulphate in 10 ounces of water.

Bottle until ready to use.

Place the picture exactly where you want it, then mark around

it with chalk or something that will easily wash out. Now take

a piece of cotton, saturate it in Solution No. 1 and spread the

solution evenly over the spot where the picture is to be

printed. If you are printing on cloth, it will be a good idea

to stretch the cloth over a piece of glass and hold it in place

with spring type clothespins.

Now take a piece of heavy wrapping paper and make a frame for

the picture, cutting a hole just the size you want the picture

to be. Place this frame over the negative and old it all down

tight with another piece of glass. If you can clamp the two

pieces of glass together with clothespins, so much the better.

When you have it all prepared and held firmly together, expose

it to bright sunlight for several minutes, then remove the

glass, the frame and the negative. Apply Solution No. 2 to the

printed area, and soak it good for about one minute. This

application of the second solution "fixes" the picture and

prevents it from fading out later when exposed to light. Rinse

the surface in clean water and allow to dry.

When you have familiarized yourself with these simple directions

you will have no trouble in producing remarkable results that

will amaze your friends, and enable you to prepare many unusual

items for gifts, etc.

You should be able to purchase all the above ingredients at any

good wholesale drug company or photographic supply house.
