about the process:
Platinum printing
was introduced in England by William Willis in 1868. This
method of printing is exceptional for its long tonal scale,
archival properties, and ability to use fine papers. One
starts with a photographic negative, usually 4 x 5 or larger.
The paper is coated with a mixture of platinum, palladium
and other sensitizing chemicals. The negative is then placed
in direct contact with the coated paper and exposed to an
ultraviolet light source. Finally the image is developed,
cleared, washed, and dried.
