  1. Re: Hack my roadmap towards 12x20 platinum/palladium contact prints (long)

    How would one go about testing the lp/mm of a printing method paper combination?



    Thank you, I'll check them out!
  2. Re: Hack my roadmap towards 12x20 platinum/palladium contact prints (long)

    One of the main reasons would be to avoid Photoshop and the digital path. I've always done a hybrid process with film, even before digital cameras were affordable. Shooting film, developing myself,...
  3. Re: Hack my roadmap towards 12x20 platinum/palladium contact prints (long)

    Thank you so much for the reasoned and reasonable suggestions!

    I think it would make most sense to start out with my current 4x5 camera for learning pt/pd contact printing, and perhaps get the...
  4. Hack my roadmap towards 12x20 platinum/palladium contact prints (long)

    I've been shooting 4x5" for a few years and enjoy it quite a bit, along with some 6x6 and lot of digital small formats. I develop the chromes myself (tediously) with a hand agitated Jobo tank which...

    Re: How to test the lpi of cyanotype printing?

    Wow, wasn't expecting it to be nearly that high!

    I'll probably just do some prints of my photographs and make contact prints that way. I've never shot negatives, so would have to invest in...

    How to test the lpi of cyanotype printing?

    I attended a workshop for cyanotype printing, and was very surprised how simple it is. I was expecting volatile solutions, breathing masks, and guesswork of a result at over 50% failure rate. Looks...

    1. Mixing the E-6 Tetenal chemicals
    2. Loading 4x5 sheets into a Jobo tank

    The only ways to encourage and fix things is to buy the things, and spread the word.

    Re: new55 kickstarter has begun

    If it's within specifications, they will end up with the bill. Even if it's not, New55 will likely have to eat up a good chunk of the cost, depending on the contract. Let's hope it's an easier fix!
