UVP X Salted Collodion

Fast. Stable. Easy to Develop. Built for Portraits.

Available ready to shoot or as a two-part kit, UVP X is trusted by many of today's professional wet plate photographers for its consistent performance and beautiful tonal rendering.

Developed for speed, stability, and ease of use, UVP X is a modern cadmium-based collodion designed for producing tintypes, ambrotypes, and glass negatives. Its carefully balanced formula delivers excellent sensitivity, broad tonal range, and reliable results throughout its working life.

Stored in a cool, dark place, UVP X maintains excellent working characteristics for 6–12 months, allowing photographers to work with confidence from the first plate to the last.

The slightly elevated bromide content produces rich tonal separation that is especially well suited for portraiture, while the image develops with excellent visibility, making it easier to judge development and consistently produce beautiful plates.

  • Fast, dependable performance
  • Excellent stability with a 6–12 month working life
  • Rich tonal range optimized for portraits
  • Easy-to-see image during development
  • Smooth, predictable handling
  • Available premixed or as a two-part kit

    Love this Collodion. Started with Old Dead Bride and love it too but feel really consistent with the "X"

    My go-to collodion for wet plate tintype studio portraits

    Posted by Chad Drake on Jun 29th 2025

    I have had excellent results with this collodion X. I like keeping it on hand and I take comfort knowing it has a longer usable shelf life than others. And I love knowing that nothing is sacrificed to have that longer usable shelf life.

    Posted by Kevin on Oct 27th 2024

    Love this collodion. I recently started experimenting with strobes and have been so happy with the results using no. X. Big thanks to uvp for making the chemistry easy for new wet platers like myself!

    Great Collodion

    Posted by John Wyatt on Apr 25th 2024

    This collodion is well worth the money and let's you focus on all the other aspects of wet plate. It works great and retains its sensitivity for a long time.
