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).

Very happy so far - they help to break up the routine, and portraits made with these make excellent gifts.

Plates: glass and tintypes are awesome. It takes more time to handle tintypes and needs a lot of light.
Glass plates are easy to handle.
Wrap are very solid and the boxes are well designed
I recommand to use DHL shipping, much faster.
