Hi everyone!
I've been reading about these printing processes. All writers agree this is a contact print system, and if you want bigger prints the way to go about it would be to make a digital negative on acetate.
However i was reading an old book on the nudes Irving Penn made in the 40s, and it states that he worked with a Rolleiflex - yet he apparently produced some 30x40cm platinum prints!
Am I missing something?
It seems you cant focus am enlarger because the UV light used is a different wavelenght. But surely nothing keeps you from wasting a few small prints to find the correct focus, then insert the big paper?
You would have to work with some sort of "daylight lamp", if that exists.
Anyway, is the book wrong or is there a way to make platinum or palladium enlargements?
