Clearly presented formulae allow the printer to work with platinum, palladium, or varying combinations of both. The printed-out image appears fully during exposure, and only requires simple and safe steps for clearing to a stable, archival state.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe authors explain what makes the image, how all necessary components are prepared and used, and the kind of paper and negative needed to make prints. More than just a technical manual, the book underscores the authors' belief that printing is a creative, scientific, and philosophic way of working. The book presents an outstanding collection of prints by over 40 artists, all made with this printing-out process. The artists' notes and comments offer insights into their methods and thinking, and a large number of full-page reproductions serve as a valuable reference for the aspiring printer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book includes: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eA list of supplies and equipment\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eA detailed chemical glossary\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eA Quick-start section in the Preface\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eSummary sheets and workflows for each step of the process\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eInstructions for making traditional negatives with Pyro PMK and digital negatives\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eExplanation of the chemistry and dynamics of paper, and how to use buffered papers\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eInstructions for controlling hydration processes and humidity\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eInstructions for preparing each chemical solution needed for the process\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eDiscussion about the aesthetics of the platinum\/palladium print\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eExplanation of the relationships between light, image, and expression \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eA detailed troubleshooting list\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eRecommendations from conservators about processing, handling, and conservation \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eContemporary artists using the printing-out platinum\/palladium process.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eLearning how to make platinum\/palladium prints has been cloaked in a mystique of difficulty. \u003ci\u003ePlatinotype \u003c\/i\u003epresents the process as a set of clearly explained and defined steps.
