As our homegrown KJP is linked to your Calumet it would be interesting to hear what a box of this 8x10 costs on your side of the pond... I bet it's a LOT less! SNIP... a platinum emulsion that have been applied to a hand-laid watercolor paper (The stuff that costs about $35 or more for a foolscap sheet of about 32"x40"!). Simply gorgeous! But then again, you get what you pay for, in the long run!... Ah yes... your own hand-coating of Pt/Pd salts on Arches Platine is the way to go... it makes the darkroom even more sensual compared to the increasingly popular "light-room" with the ubiquitous computer instead of an enlarger or overhead light bulb for contacting. BTW: did you see those gorgeous Cy de Cosse platinums in the latest issue of "B&W" magazine?
