Hello out there. I preparing to try platinum/palladium processing for the first time on my own after having taken a course in it at the ICP in Manhattan some years ago. I intend to stick with alternative processing methods and not return to silver emulsions anytime in the near future. I have a sets of developing trays in different sizes and plastic photo chemical jugs that I have used over the years for traditional silver processing. The books on platinum/palladium printing I have read state to only use trays and chemical containers that have never previously been exposed silver processing chemicals. I don't have the room to buy all new trays and containers, and it seems wasteful to replace all this equipment. Plus, now that I have moved from NYC to Switzerland, it is not so easy to find wet darkroom stuff!
What would happen if this equipment is used for platinum/palladium developing?
Thanks for any insight.
