Dye transfer printing in NY?

Tiane,
I don’t think anyone is left who does this. Let me check.

I don’t think anyone does dye transfer anymore. I spoke to a printer who used to do a lot of these here but he too said he did not know of anyone who did it anymore.

As far as I know – there might only be one person still doing it, and I don’t think he/she is in NYC. I’m pretty sure it’s the person that William Eggleston still uses, so you can maybe try contacting him.

Contact Eggleston, perhaps even his foundation.

CVI Dye Transfer Laboratory moved from NYC’s Little Italy a couple of years ago and is now on Vashon Island in Puget Sound, out in Washington State. The owners, Guy Stricherz and Irene Malli, still print, and they produced a marvelous show and book, Americans In Kodachrome, a segment of which the Getty exhibited last year.

but he may have run out of supplies…

Guy Stricherz, who owns CVI Lab in Manhattan with his wife Irene Malli is making all 88 prints for the exhibition and book for Eggleston, a special event in itself given that Kodak stopped manufacturing the papers and chemicals necessary to produce dye transfers in 1992, when it was no longer cost-effective. Stricherz says he acquired a large stock of materials when the process was discontinued, but that he only has enough to last him the next 4-6 years.

Hi Erica,
did you call them to find out this info about stocks,etc? 4-6 years sounds very optimistic! and is this CVI Lab in Manhattan or WA? thanks you all

It (CVI) was in NYC, moved a couple of years ago to Washington, phone above. I didn’t call..the quote about 4-6 years was written while it the lab was still in NYC, so I’d guess at least 2 years ago. maybe he has a couple of years of supplies left? Just ring him and see..he is the person who was doing Eggleston’s work as well.

Ah, I see you are in France..I can call for you if you want if you aren’t coming here yourself.
