Stable

Easy to develop
Great for portraits
 

UVP X is a premixed salted collodion used for tintypes, ambrotypes, and glass negatives. It is formulated with two iodide salts and two bromide salts. It’s a cadmium-based formula that ages slowly, so you will have consistent results over a long period of time. Stored in a cool dark place, this collodion will maintain good working properties for 6-12 months.

UVP X is specifically formulated with a slightly higher bromide ratio, which aids in achieving good tonal range in portraits. Also, it is easy to see the image during development, which helps achieve the most from the collodion. It’s the fastest of the super stable formulas (Lea Formula 3, UVP-4, UVP-X).

    UVP X Premixed

    Very happy I tried this formulation! It give rich tonalities, is easy to read when developing, fixes well with rapid fix. In a side-by-side comparison to ODB, UVP X was ever so slightly faster. The response to natural light, CFL hot lights and studio flash is excellent.

    Great mix with great shelf life! It is fast and it lasts. I have some from almost a year ago and it's still going strong. I love not having to mix my own. Even if I did, it would not be this good and consistent. Very cost effective also.
