Description

How the positive is achieved?

Normal processing for Zebra Dry Plates results in a black negative but since with Zebra Tintypes emulsion is coated on black surface a special developer mixture is needed. Your goal is to make the negative white and you can achieve that by adding Ammonium Thiocyanate to the preferred developer (they are listed in our Developing Charts).

Fantastic

I love these dry plates
Consistent results every time I use them.

Exciting!

I have received my package from Zebra recently. I have not yet made any experiments with my dry plates or tin types but I want to highlight how well packaged and amazingly organized and explained everything is. I have a lot of confidence on these as the process is very well thought out. Thanks for this efforts on maintaining beautiful processes alive!

Great Product and Shipping Time!

I have been using Zebra Dry Plates for about a year now and they have been my go to dry plates for tintypes. Easy to shoot and awesome results. I haven't gotten my hands on wet plate process yet, and this had been the perfect stepping stone in that direction to get myself comfortable shooting with plates. Thanks for making these so accessible, Nejc!
