Rockland LLE8 Overview

Rockland Liquid Light is a silver-gelatin liquid emulsion designed to be easily applied to any material.

Liquid light can be used for photographs on wood, glass, ceramics, plastics, chinaware, fabrics, metals, stone, walls, artist's canvas, even an egg!

Its even possible to make salon-grade prints on the many handmade papers that are available on the market.

Printing with Liquid Light is the same as with black-and-white enlargement paper. Under an amber or red safelight, brush the emulsion onto the surface to be coated. Wait a few minutes for it to firm up, then expose with an enlarger or slide projector. Process with conventional paper developer and hardening fixer. The print will be archivally-permanent with a full range of tones from warm blacks to clean transparent highlights that reveal the texture and color of the material underneath.
Exclusive Features:

  • Contrast: medium high, approximately #3 grade.
  • Coverage: Approximately 1 1/2 square feet per ounce.
  • No fumes, odors or VOC's: Liquid Light and other Rockland emulsions are made exclusively for darkroom coating and are the only brand of photographic emulsions with no phenol.

Will this emulsion respond to multi-grade filters, or is it fixed contrast?
Asked by: Alexander
The Rockland Liquid Light Photo Emulsion - 8 Oz. is not compatible with filters. You can change the contrast by using an active print developer like Dektol for high contrast or a soft acting developer like Selectol Soft for lower contrast. For maximum contrast you can sensitize the emulsion by adding exactly one part of working developer to 10 parts of emulsion, as described in the instructions.
