How it worksJellyfishphoto may share some similarities in handling to the Polaroid emulsion transfer method—it’s clever name comes from the ‘jellyfish’ appearance the emulsion takes on in the tray—but it relies on pigmented digital inkjet ink to create the color or black and white image. The ink is printed onto a receiving layer and that in turn is adhered to a transparent polyester base with a water-soluble adhesive. The digital transparency is soaked in cool water for approximately two minutes. When it is softened, the emulsion aka the ‘jellyfish’ is gently lifted and re-applied to the substrate of your choice. Besides the final substrate such as fine art paper, all you need is a tray, cool water and a table to work on.
