Fine Art Prints: Rare Cibachrome

Back in the film days I shot with Kodachrome 25 and Velvia 50 slide film and printed enlargements using the direct positive-to-positive processes of Cibachrome and Fujifilm Type “R” Super Glossy. Unfortunately by 2012 both of these had been discontinued and I switching to digital. Although digital printing has the advantage of speed and ease, I regret the magic of the hands-on darkroom process and the enchanted results of the Cibachrome process that many consider the most beautiful fine art prints available. 

So what made the Cibachrome process so unique? Prints are made on a dimensionally stable polyester base. Within this base are thirteen emulsions layers of Azo Dyes containing Silver that are sensitive to light exposure. This process yields highly saturated colors, extraordinary resolution of details, expanded tonal range, a delightful sense of luminosity and superior archival properties. These properties are distinctive and set Cibachrome prints apart from all other methods! 

Although the Fujifilm Type “R” Super Glossy was a different process it to was printed on polyester base and produced brilliant highly saturated prints.   

 Today both Cibachrome and Fujifilm Type “R” prints have become quite rare and sought-after plus due to their archival properties they will continue to increase in value. Beyond that they enable the viewer an opportunity to engage with the image not just on a visual but an emotional level not available in other printing methods. I have a number of these uniquely beautiful enlargements in various sizes available for purchase. Please contact me if you are interested.
