Bromoil Print MEANING & DEFINITION
Bromoil print, also called bromine print or simply paint print, and more specifically in Holland, pigmo-gravure printing, is a process widely used for its important artistic qualities. Louis Poitevin discovered it in 1855.
It is based on the solubility and insolubility of gelatin. A photographic gelatin image, consisting of light and dark areas (much or little metallic silver), can be prepared by a tanning or bleaching bath in such a way that the gelatin in the dark areas (much metallic silver) becomes hardened or insoluble, while the gelatin in the light areas (little or no metallic silver) remains more or less soluble. If the image prepared in this way is placed in warm water, the soluble gelatin in the light areas will absorb more or less water, while the insoluble gelatin in the dark areas will absorb little or nothing and therefore remains dry. Using a special brush, oily paint is dabbed onto the tanned and bleached photograph.
Depending on how much water has been absorbed, the paint will bond more or less with the gelatin layer of the image. Specifically, where little or no water is present, the paint will adhere strongly to the image, while where much water has been absorbed, the paint will adhere almost entirely. This way, the faded image returns, but now entirely composed of paint.
The item will be carefully packaged for shipping to prevent damage. I ship in recycled and environmentally friendly boxes.
