Solarization/Chromoskedasic

This article delves into the fascinating world of Chromoskedasic printing, a technique developed by leading scientists Dominic Man-Kit Lam, William Jolly, and Alan Bean. It highlights the management of silver particles using chemicals and light exposure, creating diverse colors via the Mie Effect. Key materials include an acetate buffered thiocyanate stabilizer and a potassium hydroxide activator. The process emphasizes high-contrast prints for optimal color display. The Sabattier effect adds a unique twist to the printing method, ensuring creative possibilities in visual art.

  2. In Chromoskedasic Printing the silver particles are carefully managed with different chemicals and/or exposure to light, to become different sizes. These different sized silver particles in turn scatter light in different ways to produce the different colors; this is known as the Mie Effect. The chemicals used to do this are an acetate buffered thiocyanate “stabilizer” and a dilute potassium hydroxide “activator.” The colors only appear where there is white in the print, thus a high contrast print or one that has appreciable areas of white will be the best for this.

  5. Procedure • Find a print that you can make pure black and white if you don’t already have a very high contrast image. • Make test strips in squares • Place in developer for full amount of time • Once from developer dip in water for 30 secs • Pull out and bring to table with stabilizer and activator • Put a thin coat of stabilizer over your print/test strip. • Wait until image starts turning colors.(1-2 min) • Then place activator on print in white areas to paint on. • Watch for another 1-2 min. • Take tray and place in water for 10sec then fixer for 6 min • Rewash for 4 min
