Rockland LLE16 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.

bad batch

fogged. I have been using this emulsion for over a decade for my professional practice. This batch was ruined. tried to call b&h but was just left on hold for hours. generally I have great experiences with their team, but this was very disappointing.

I love this stuff

question

How much surface area will the 16 oz. container coat? I have (12) 30x30 inch that I want to print on and I don't know how much to order.
Asked by: Melinda A.
You will get 1.5 square feet of coverage per ounce with this product. It is 16 ounces, which gives you 24 square feet. A 30x30 inch section is 6.25 Square Feet. You will only need to order a single can for this project.

What ISO should I have in consideration to make at least some aproximate measurements?
Asked by: Luis
According to Rockland, "Unlike conventional black and white films, liquid emulsions are not panchromatic (sensitive to all colors) but only to blue light. If you are using the emulsion in a camera, put a piece of blue acetate (any shade is okay) in front your exposure meter. Once the exposure is calibrated, you can expose consistently from shot to shot, as you are measuring only blue light. To calibrate, start test exposures with a low ISO or ASA setting such as 1. Note that sensitivity may vary from batch to batch, represented by the date stamped on the box."

question

Does this B&W processing require a negative (reverse B&W) for media transmission like by an enlarger/projector photographic processing (developer/fixer)? Or, will it duplicate whatever your transmission media your using like a colored slide, etc.?
Asked by: Gene B.
It should react to the projection, I have only done contact printing and use with an enlarger. Both uses work well for what I was doing. Worth the investment.

question

Is this black and white only?
Asked by: Anonymous
Yes it is only for black and white processing. It is also very finicky, it will take a lot of trial and error so I highly recommend reading up on using liquid emulsion before attempting it.
