The ideal UV Printer for your fine printing techniques!
A good photo is a good photo – whether digital or analogue, whether small- or large-format. But an authentic photo must be created with light – only then is it, in the truest sense, a genuine photo, not just a digital transformation. An extraordinary expression of photography can be found when using so-called fine print techniques, among which the platinum print is certainly the most prominent example. A platinum print has a shelf life of over 1,000 years. Every photo “printed” with light instead of ink becomes a unique piece of art. Even beautiful cyanotypes or van Dykes can be created with the Platinum Printer from JOBO artisan.
The JOBO artisan PLATINUM UV printer II is large enough to accommodate contact frames with an external dimension of up to 65 x 86 cm so that 50x60 cm prints can easily be created. Its drawer is guided on ball bearings to enable easy loading and unloading. The integrated timer allows for exact exposures. The uniform UV exposure is generated by 110 LEDs from 360 to 390 nm. In contrast to fluorescent tubes, LEDs consume 80% less electricity and, more importantly, do not require a warm-up phase to reach a complete and consistent luminosity. LEDs are herewith unsurpassed in generating consistently reliable exposure times.
In addition to other well-known sources for fine print chemicals, ILFORD Japan has recently launched a chemical and paper kit to create platinum prints. Not only can the classical method of creating platinum prints with original large format negatives be realised, but with the help of ILFORD products, it is also possible to create a digital negative from digital photos and to print them using an inkjet printer. In this way, ILFORD even allows digital photographers to immortalise themselves with fine light prints.
