Color set with special colors for coloring photographic emulsions, such as photo paper or films.
The colors are completely absorbed by the emulsion and leave no residue.
The set contains 11 different colors, as well as a reducer for subsequent attenuation.
All dyes can be fully mixed and/or diluted to produce any desired color or shade.
Instructions for coloring
To color pictures, we recommend using a wider brush, such as our Da Vinci Restauro size 2 or 4, and diluting the paint heavily with water before use.
Our ceramic palettes and paint bowls, for example, are suitable for mixing and blending.
The dyes are extremely concentrated and caution should be exercised when diluting them for use.
It is very rare that the dye is used undiluted.
When using for the first time, we recommend that you test the color strength on old prints. As a first test, use 3 drops of dye in 1 teaspoon of water.
You can then see the effect of a stronger color by adding more drops of dye.
