polaroid image transfer

[villiam_shahvosian1]

I am trying to do the image fransfer by 669 film. By the time I am done I can

see some sticky substance on the paper and some faint cyan color around it with

no sticky substance. Should the whole substace (the sticky one) be transfered

to reciving paper or just the dye?

Part of the "one of a kind" polaroid transfer effect, is the simultaneious transfer of additional material from the original polaroid negative, to the frame (border) area of the reciever surface. It may be a good idea to try the transfer while wet, ie to do the lift off part of the trnsfer with the print submerged in distilled water.

Kathleen Carr has written a fantastic instructional paperback on image transfer,emulsion lift and other creative undertakings in the polaroid lift.

John I do have her book but one thing that is not clear to me, is when I'm doing image fransfer the sticky substance should be transfered along with the dye to the reseptor or not? It's talking about the lift off but I'm not sure it should not be lifted up from original negative or from the reseptor!!!

It's my understanding... and I have never done one before that the "print" part of the Polaroid should be peeled off of the "negative" part before development has been completed and that the "negative" part is then submerged in water. I may be completely wrong about that though.
