Platinum Palladium Printing
-
Recently read an article about this process and it sounds very interesting. The article was about a workshop in this type of printing using digital negatives. From what I gather a digital photo is tweaked in photoshop and printed on a normal printer to create a negative the same size as the final print. Then you can use the normal process of platinum palladium printing to create prints without the need for a darkroom. This definitely sounds like something I would be interested in having a go at. Has anyone any experience with this process?
I had a look online and the chemicals needed are available in a kit from the states but I don’t know if it’s ok to send these through the post? Does anyone know of anyone selling kits for this in Ireland?
I also noticed there are workshops in this in the UK but couldn’t find any information about anything in Ireland. Anyone know of anything like this?
Sorry for all the questions, it’s like the Spanish Inquisition around here today.

Yes, I’ve read about these, and they sound interesting-
to say nothing of other alt processes, such as carbon, or gum bichromate-The negative is printed on acetate, or overhead projection film-
Apparently some printers are better suited than others-
my R1800 is meant to produce quite nice negatives…Now, I should really buy some acetate…
Getting the density of the acetate is quite trickey I believe.
If there was enough interest we’d run a workshop in dublin, but the materials are expensive and the process is often quite toxic.
If anyone is interested in platinum printing workshops or any alternative process please email us info fpworkshops.com
