Most all of my pt/pd printing was with LF in-camera negs, but I have experimented with inkjet and film negatives made with an imagesetter (ask your grandparents what that is :)). As far as sharpness goes anyway, it is a forgiving process due to the paper used. Tonality is a different thing, but some of the best prints I have seen were 6x7cm negs enlarged in the darkroom to 20x24 by David Kennedy (www.davidmichaelkennedy.com). These were pure palladium, double coated. The chemistry presents some health concerns, not the least of which is mixing the emulsion in a shot glass, which in dim light looks a lot like single-malt. Good luck. Ken On 4/19/2014 4:46 PM, Charlie Chan wrote: > Just thought I would ask. I am thinking of going on a Platinum-Palladium > printing course with David Chow in the UK.
