This pack contains ten 8 × 10in plates, with a thinner construction that improves adhesion and makes them easier to cut down to alternative sizes when required.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy We Like It\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eTintype is one of those historic photographic processes that is just as fascinating to work with today as it was in the 19th century. Introduced in the 1800s, it helped make portrait photography accessible to a much wider audience because images could be produced relatively quickly and inexpensively on a durable metal support. The resulting photographs have a wonderfully distinctive appearance that is difficult to reproduce convincingly by any other method.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThese Rockland plates take some of the preparation out of the process. Rather than sourcing and preparing suitable metal yourself, you have a consistent satin black aluminium surface ready for coating. The black background is important to the characteristic tintype appearance, allowing the lighter areas of the photographic image to stand out against the dark plate.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe newer, thinner plates are also particularly useful if you like experimenting with different formats. They can be trimmed with scissors, so you are not restricted to making 8 × 10in images. You can cut a plate down for smaller cameras, alternative plate holders or creative projects, while wasting as little material as possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003ePack of 10 satin black aluminium tintype plates\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eLarge 8 × 10in plate size\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003ePrepared and ready for coating\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned for creating traditional-style tintype photographs\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eUpdated thinner plate construction for easier handling and cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eImproved surface adhesion for photographic coatings\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eCan be trimmed to smaller sizes using scissors\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eSatin black surface provides the dark background required for the tintype effect\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eUseful for both traditional alternative-process work and experimental photography\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat's in the Box\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e10 × Rockland 8 × 10in Satin Black Aluminium Tintype Plates\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch4\u003eIdeal For\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003ePhotographers experimenting with tintype photography\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eAlternative and historic photographic process enthusiasts\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eStudents, colleges and photographic workshops exploring early processes\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003ePhotographers who want plates that can be cut to custom sizes\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eCreative analogue and experimental photography projects\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Rockland","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62002644222339,"sku":"ROCK104","price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0911\/9085\/4019\/files\/ROCK104.jpg?v=1787649212","url":"https:\/\/firstcall-photographic.co.uk\/products\/rockland-tintype-replacement-plates-8-x-10in-pack-of-10","provider":"Firstcall Photographic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
