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).

***Exciting news! We have expanded our product range at Darkroom Chemistry to include Ammonium Thiocyanate in our store which can be ordered right HERE.

excellent plates

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.
