A practical guide to platinum/palladium printing

Ian Leake’s workshop guide moves from initial choices into the mechanics of image formation and methods for controlling contrast and humidity. It surveys both developing-out printing, including A+B, Dichromate, and Na2 variants, and printing-out methods such as Malde-Ware and Ziatype. The third edition also adds a 33-page formulary covering platinum/palladium materials, recipes, and their use. Together, these topics make the book a technical resource spanning process options, print variables, and chemistry.

Book overview

This is the new, revised and significantly extended third edition.

Platinum/palladium prints are renowned for their grace and beauty. The process was invented in the nineteenth century and still thrives as 'The Reigning Queen' of fine art photographic printing.

The Platinum Printing Workshop, now in its third edition, shows you how to make beautiful platinum/palladium prints. It guides you through your first decisions, and then moves on to more advanced topics such as how the image is formed, techniques for contrast control, and the power of humidity.

With 212 pages, this book covers the traditional 'Developing-Out' process with all its main variants (A+B, Dichromate and Na2), plus the 'Printing-Out' processes (Malde-Ware and Ziatype).

New in this edition is an extensive 33 page formulary detailing the materials, recipes and usage of the platinum/palladium chemistry.

The author's accessible and jargon-free style makes this book easy to read, and helps you to start to make great prints straight away.

Please note that this book contains nudity.
