	Platinotype - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Platinotype is a monochrome photographic printing process, based on the light-sensitivity of Ferric Oxalate.
		William Willis discovered the process in 1873 and the first platinum paper reached the market in 1881, produced by the Platinotype Company, a firm founded by Willis in 1879.
		Platinotypes which have been waxed or varnished will produce images that appear to have greater D-max than silver prints.

	Mike Ware's Alternative Photography: The Eighth Metal
		It should not be inferred from this that Platinotype was the exclusive preserve of the photographic luminaries of the day: many examples of commercially produced Platinotypes can be found in ordinary private albums dating from the turn of the century (7), showing that the medium was also in use for everyday pictorial souvenirs.
		We may therefore identify the primary cause of the time-lag in developing a viable Platinotype process: it was the non-availability, at the outset, of the key platinum chemical, potassium chloroplatinite.
		The aesthetic claim is more complex (46): the Platinotype, with its neutral grey-fl tones and totally matt surface, arrived at a time when the public taste in photographs had been conditioned by the glossy purple-brown finish of gold-toned albumen prints, the dominant medium of the previous forty years.

	Palladiotype - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In photography, palladiotype is a monochrome printing process, a rather obscure variant of the platinotype.
		The process was in use after World War I, because the platinum used in the fairly popular platinotype quickly became too expensive for use in photography.
		Photographers tried to replace the platinum with the much cheaper palladium which gave similar effects.

		Platinotypes are an iron process that uses ferric oxalate in combination with the metal salts of platinum and palladium to create the image.
		I initially tried and still like the Cranes platinotype and ecru paper available through B and S. After the chemistry kit and paper, you will need a contact frame large enough to hold your negative and paper in contact.
		Platinotypes are a contact print process, meaning that your image is as large as your negative.

	Stillwater Palladium : Palladium in photography
		As a process descended from the Cyanotype, it was known as Platinotype.
		In the 1930s, the Platinotype declined in favor of the mass production of gelatin silver papers and steep rise in the price of platinum, which had then become a strategic metal vital in the defense industry.
		In the 1970s, the Platinotype saw renewed interest as a beautiful art medium more permanent than the commercially available silver based papers.

		There was a cyanotype, an iron process; a carbon print, using graphite; and the platinum print.
		Examples of each were available and I quickly fell in love with the platinotype.
		It is warm toned, has great tonal scale, and is sharp as a tack (because all three require a negative the size of the image), and yet the platinotype is softened because the image is made on watercolor paper.

	Mike Ware's Alternative Photography: Prints of Gold
		But today we are seeing a minor renaissance in alternative photographic printing, brought about by photographers who are dissatisfied with the monotony of the commercial product, and wish to make prints which are beautiful as objects in their own right.
		It was my enthusiasm for updating the platinotype process that eventually led me to investigate the possibility of printing in pure gold, which resembles platinum chemically.
		True fl and white, in the form of the platinotype, was so contrary to popular taste when first introduced that William Willis had to work hard to modify his process to yield an acceptable brown, in the form of his Sepia Japine Platinotype paper.

	Brief History of Platinum Printing
		There are as many reasons as there are platinotypes and palladiotypes.
		The earliest roots of the platinotype trace back to 1804, when a worker named Gehlen is said to have discussed the action of light on platinum salts.1 In 1832, Sir John Herschel demonstrated the ability of certain platinum salts in the presence of certain organic compounds to exhibit photo-reactive qualities.
		The process made a recovery during the late 1970s and early 1980s and today is an accessible option for printers and photographers.

	PMR: Photography in Platinum and Palladium
		It then became the preferred medium of leading photographic artists for a further three decades, until the Great War decreed that platinum was a strategic material for catalysing the manufacture of explosives, and its frivolous use for photography and jewellery was banned.
		Since the 1970s dissatisfaction with the commercial silver-gelatin printing ‘monoculture’ led some photographic artists, especially in the U.S.A., to rediscover the 19th century method of platinotype, and to coat their own sensitised papers with solutions of the appropriate chemicals: iron(III) oxalate and potassium tetrachloroplatinate(II) (6).
		Indeed, while the illustrations in both editions of Arentz's books indicate that very fine palladium-platinum prints may be made by the hands of a master who is prepared to take limitless technical pains, the reader may wonder if this is the only possible route to success.

		The present methods have been evolved with a view to maximising this 'printing-out' effect; in particular, the composition of the sensitizer and the control of humidity are important.
		In this respect, the procedure departs from the method of platinotype generally practised.
		The archival properties of platinum images containing mercury are not known with certainty, but it is thought that many of the sepia platinotypes made at the turn of the century, and now surviving apparently undegraded, may contain mercury.

		I find that living at sea -level where the humidity is often 80-100%, I need a paper that is a little harder than Platinotype so the emulsion doesn't sink in too fast which causes flat tonality.

		Newcomers are strongly advised to begin with palladium alone - even though it is at present as expensive as platinum: palladium more readily gives a finer image on a wider range of papers.
		This method is a printing-out process, unlike traditional platinotype which requires development.
		The sensitized paper acquires a controlled degree of humidity, which allows formation of the platinum-palladium image during the exposure - a process that can easily be monitored, making test-strips unnecessary.
