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.

    Consistently the best

    I have been mixing my own collodion for years but started using UVP-X a few years ago. It is fast, consistently reliable and has a long shelf life. Highly recommend and its now my go-to for shooting studio portraits with strobes.

    Great, fast collodion. Pours well with a nice setup time in controlled environments. When poured outside (windy) it can set pretty fast, but pouring a little quicker avoids any lines. Or…simply pour it in your darkbox (like I typically do) and never have a problem. Great tones, tremendous speed. Great for using with strobes. Stays stable for months with little loss in speed. I’ve been shooting 20+ years and this is the only collodion formula I use outside my own mix. Highly recommend!

    Collodion that keeps on keeping on!

    Posted by Unknown on Jul 27th 2021

    collodion that keeps on keeping on I originally ordered this stuff when I was traveling to LA for a wetplate shoot. I ordered all my chemicals from uv and. Picked it up locally. It was a pleasure to work with After the shoot I ended up shipping all the uv chemicals back to the easy coast. The left over uvpx became my back up collodion when ever my collodion acted up. Which was often. After awhile I realized that after six months the uvpx was still working with no problems. Now this is all I use. Brian should rename this stuff to modern faithful. Or simply the rock.
