"SPLASHING" TYPE PHOTOGRAPHIC PRINTING METHOD FOR CLASSICAL PHOTOGRAPHIC PRINTS

Abstract

 The present invention relates to a splashing type photographic printing method for classical photographic prints. The method comprises the following steps: controlling room humidity; dividing an operation area and a theme-prominent area on a piece of classical photographic printing paper; splashing a liquid reagent onto the classical photographic printing paper; coarsely adjusting the liquid reagent using a pipette and then finely adjusting same using absorbent paper, and absorbing the redundant liquid reagent using the absorbent paper; after resting the classical photographic printing paper for 2-15 minutes, and naturally drying or wind-drying; placing a photographic film above the paper, and irradiating by an ultraviolet lamp; separating the photographic film from the classical photographic printing paper and washing the classical photographic printing paper in a classical cleaning solution, and then taking out the classical photographic printing paper. The technical solution changes the conventional even brushing approach in photographic printing, provides people with a new visual sense of a photographic print by making non-prominent portions in a photographic print in a state of natural water flow, and deepens the external and internal connotations of a picture by incorporating the ink-splashing skill for vigorous and bold freehand brushwork in Chinese painting and calligraphy into old traditional photographic printing, implements more stereoscopic and diversified picture presentation, and breaks the traditional form of spreading an image all over a print, thus also greatly improving the aesthetic property and the visibility.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a photographic printing technology for classical photographic prints and particularly relates to a splashing 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. The World War I and the World War II in the 20th 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

[0003] 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 of higher level and break shackles imposed by traditional classical form of spreading an image all over a photographic print.

Technical Problems

[0004] In view of this, the present invention primarily aims to provide a splashing type photographic printing method for classical photographic prints. The technical solution provides people with a new visual sense of a photographic print by imaging non-prominent portions in a photographic print through a splashing approach and forming various water flow patterns, and deepens the external and internal connotations of a picture, 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.
