Question: What is a Silver Gelatin Print?

A silver gelatin print is a name used for a standard black and white print created in a darkroom, commonly known as a traditional black and white darkroom print. They are not Giclee' prints which use colour processes and are printed on an ink jet printer. A traditional black and white print is made by the oxidation of silver grains suspended in a gelatin mix that makes up the paper emulsion. This process gives the finished print much more depth and is richer in tone. Silver gelatin prints are far superior in quality to Giclee prints and much more collectable and are usually an investment. All of our silver gelatin prints are lovingly printed by Ilford. Keith and Neil from Ilford have spent a great deal of time working together so that each print supplied will be perfect, just as Keith intended it to be.
