Title: How an Eggleston dye transfer is made
Post by: Francois on January 08, 2025, 11:30:07 PM

I just found this about how a dye transfer of one of  William Eggleston's slides is made.

I didn't know it was this labor intensive.
But the result is just pure magic

I still can't believe my eyes...

An interesting process, renowned for making beautiful prints.

It’s a shame that the matrix film is no longer made. A few dedicated dye transfer printer bought up kodaks final stocks when they ceased manufacture. How much of this is now left if any is any bodies guess.

 https://ctein.com/ (https://ctein.com/) was one of these printer. He no longer uses this process.

Francois thank you for sharing this.

You're welcome.
I knew that the Fresson process was pretty work intensive, but this reaches a whole new level!
