Platinum and palladium printing

the long version

"Platinum and palladium printing is one of the easiest of the non-silver processes to learn and it offers a number of variations that the photographer can closely control. The step-by-step format will guide the platinum or palladium printer through the multiple sensitometric, chemical, and mechanical tasks that must be mastered for consistent and predictable results."--BOOK JACKET. "This unique book is the only comprehensive work on platinum and palladium printing. While many photo books deal with technique as the end point for manipulation of materials, this text is directed towards the making of a visual statement, and provides only the tools necessary for this goal. 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."--BOOK JACKET.
