Synopsis

Platinum and palladium printing is one of the easiest of the non-silver processes to learn but it also offers a number of variations, which the photographer can closely control. Platinum printing encompasses three basic phases which are somewhat under the control the photographer: sensitometry, chemistry and mechanics.

This unique book is the only thoroughly comprehensive work on platinum and palladium printing. This exciting method of print-making is explained with an emphasis on technical control not only to manage the cost of materials but also to teach the reader to optimize the variations possible with this process.

Photographers interested in learning or improving upon this process will find this book an indispensable resource and reference guide.
Practical information based on the making of over 3000 platinum and palladium prints
Includes 50 duotones of Arentz's platinum and palladium prints
