Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a photographic development technology for classical
photographic prints, and particularly relates to a fogging type photographic printing
method for classical photographic prints.
Background Art
[0002] In a photographic development method for classical traditional photographic prints,
a plurality of methods involving platinum (platinum palladium), protein, iron salt,
silver salt, iron silver, blue printing, chrome-plated silver lactate and the like
are collectively called a classical photographic printing method. Offering quite rich
tones and rarely causing color fading, the classical photographic printing method
is very suitable for making collectable products. In addition to the abundant contrast,
subtle gray scale, unique tone, rich layers and extremely perfect detail expression,
the classical photographic printing method enables the creation of a photographer
to become permanent, and thus can be regarded as a perfect combination of the science
and technology and the art, establishing a dominant position of the classical traditional
photographic prints.
[0003] The World War I and the World War II in the 20
th century resulted in worldwide lack of resources, and the classical traditional photographic
prints, requiring a huge number of expensive and rare metals, were forbidden by all
countries in the world, despite the unique performance and effects. However, existing
classical photographic prints all employ an even brushing approach and are controlled
through the photosensitive sun-curing time; the process cannot satisfy higher artistic
pursuit of people but just conduct copying in original photos, simply stagnating on
the ancient classical photographic printing technology. What needs to be done is to
further expand and create art works at a higher level and break shackles imposed by
traditional classical form of spreading an image all over a photographic print.
Technical Problems
[0004] So, the present invention primarily aims to provide a fogging type photographic printing
method for classical photographic prints. The technical scheme provides people with
a new visual sense of a classical photographic print by presenting non-prominent portions
on a classic photographic print by means of foggy dots, deepens the external and internal
connotations of a picture and implements more stereoscopic and diversified picture
presentation, thus greatly improving the aesthetic property and the visibility. Resuming
the technique in current era of digital image, more than 180 years later since initial
application thereof, and tightly combining the digital technology with the classical
photographic printing technology, are undoubtedly of new times value and significance
to the innovation of image language and the expansion of creation ways of photographic
art.
Technical Solutions
[0005] To achieve the aim, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions.
[0006] A fogging type photographic printing method for classical photographic prints is
characterized by comprising the following steps:
- (A) controlling room humidity to 30-60% RH, and dividing an operation area and a theme-prominent
reagent brushing area on a piece of classical photographic printing paper, by use
of a pencil according to the size of a photographic film, wherein the remaining part
of the classical photographic printing paper becomes a fogging operation area;
- (B) evenly applying a liquid reagent to projections on a pre-made projection-recess
board; after the classical photographic printing paper is pressed on the fogging operation
area, making projections on the projection-recess board abut against the classical
photographic printing paper for 10-30 seconds, then taking up quickly;
- (C) dropping the liquid reagent on the theme-prominent reagent brushing area on the
classical photographic printing paper by use of a dropper, and evenly brushing the
liquid reagent with a brush along a single direction;
- (D) resting the classical photographic printing paper for 2-15 minutes, and naturally
drying or wind-drying;
- (E) placing a photographic film above the classical photographic printing paper on
which the liquid reagent is brushed and, irradiating for 2-15 minutes by an ultraviolet
lamp;
- (F) separating the classical photographic printing paper from the photographic film,
and putting the separated classical photographic printing paper in a classical developing
solution; and
- (G) taking out the developed classical photographic printing paper and washing with
water; cleaning the classical photographic printing paper in a classical cleaning
solution to remove residual liquid reagent thereon; taking out the classical photographic
printing paper, and washing again with clean water for 20 minutes.
[0007] The projection-recess board is composed of a hard board and a water absorbing elastic
sheet, wherein the water absorbing elastic sheet is glued on the hard board and has
the same shape as the projection-recess operation area; the water absorbing elastic
sheet positioned on the theme-prominent reagent brushing area is provided to be a
hollowed-out shape.
[0008] The water absorbing elastic sheet is prepared from water absorbing sponge, water
absorbing cloth or water absorbing mat.
[0009] Thickness of the water absorbing elastic sheet is 3-5 mm.
Beneficial Effects
[0010] The technical solution has the following beneficial effects: in a fogging type photographic
printing method for classical photographic prints, the technical solution provides
people with a new visual sense of a classical photographic print by presenting non-prominent
portions on a classic photographic print by means of foggy dots, deepens the external
and internal connotations of a picture, and implements more stereoscopic and diversified
picture presentation, thus greatly improving the aesthetic property and the visibility.
Resuming the technique in current era of digital image, more than 180 years later
since initial application thereof, and tightly combining the digital technology with
the classical photographic printing technology, are undoubtedly of new times value
and significance to the innovation of image language and the expansion of creation
ways of photographic art
