Christina Z. Anderson's work focuses on the contemporary vanitas printed in a variety of 19th century photographic processes. (alternativephotography.com)
Because of the tonal range and surface quality of platinum prints, many fine art photographers of the late 19th and early 20th century preferred the process over gelatin silver prints. (goldstreetstudios.com.au)
Platinum and palladium prints are 19th century photographic processes that are reportedly the longest-lasting kind of photographic print that can be made, much longer than standard black and white prints that are based on silver. (figura.shop)
The tonal range of these prints are much richer than that of traditional silver prints -- there are more gradations between black and white and you can often see very subtle detail in the darkest parts of the photograph. (figura.shop)
Palladiotypes1
Also known as platinotypes and palladiotypes, the prints themselves are made on natural fiber paper, where the little flecks of precious metal get embedded in the the fibers, leaving a subtly warm tone and a matte texture. (figura.shop)
Photographic processes2
Christina Z. Anderson from Montana, USA shows her gallery with very personal prints of several alternative photographic processes, from Casein and Chrysotype to Palladium and Salted paper prints. (alternativephotography.com)

Photographs1
Platinotype photographs are distinguished by a matte surface and subtle tonal gradations, the image is embedded in the fibre of the paper. (goldstreetstudios.com.au)
Chrysotype2
A few sporadic reports have appeared in the literature describing attempts by photographers to take up the process-in 1859 (2) and 1911 (3,4)-but today the only known surviving specimens of historic chrysotype prints are about 22 originals by Herschel himself, distributed between archives in Oxford, London and Texas. (scienceandmediamuseum.org.uk)
The New Chrysotype Process is probably the first chemically novel method of iron based printing to be invented since the end of the nineteenth century (8). (scienceandmediamuseum.org.uk)
Pizzighelli2
Indeed, it was the recognition of the chemical difficulties that led both Pizzighelli and Hbl (5) and Abney and Clark (6), in their well-known treatises on platinotype, to discount the feasibility of gold printing. (scienceandmediamuseum.org.uk)
A chemical variant of the platinum process was introduced in 1887 by Austrian Giuseppe Pizzighelli and marketed by several manufacturers in Europe and the United States. (photographywest.com)
Carbon1
Specialising in Platinotype and Carbon Print , to which he added Platino-chrome , a photochemical-digital hybridisation process, and Digigraphie/Fine Art digital pigment prints, in B / W and in color. (carlosbarrantes.com)
Black and White Pr1
The images develop via UV exposure and offer a textural, mid-range tonality not found in traditional black and white prints. (artopenings.ca)

The platinumprinting process was developed in the 1870s, and commercially made platinum papers were available until the rising costs of platinum during World War I made the process prohibitively expensive. (goldstreetstudios.com.au)
However, this embryonic process was never accepted into the repertoire of photographic printing, owing to inherent problems of fogging, excessive contrast and uncontrollable colours. (scienceandmediamuseum.org.uk)
Thus, although the notion of gold printing has been 'in the air' since the first days of photography and gold has found several photographic uses (7) (notably as a toning agent for silver prints), it is only with the aid of modern chemistry that the vigorously oxidising nature of the gold salts can be moderated, and a controllable gold printing process developed. (scienceandmediamuseum.org.uk)
they therefore enjoy an archival permanence equal to the platinotype, and share with this hand coated process the same characteristics of matt, textured surface and subtle tonal gradation, but with the added enhancement of colour. (scienceandmediamuseum.org.uk)
Each photographer has selected a specific process that best captures and expresses their vision of and feelings for a desired subject which is then revealed and shared via the finished print. (monalogcollective.com)
The first commercially manufactured platinum paper was introduced in 1879 by British inventor William Willis Jr., who perfected the process over the following decades, gradually expanding the variety of his Platinotype Company products. (photographywest.com)

Individually2
Platinum and palladium are used individually, or mixed in any proportion, controlling the image hue and contrast. (goldstreetstudios.com.au)

Paper3
This style of platinum print making uses large format negatives and chemical emulsions to hand coat paper. (artopenings.ca)
Given that this was supposed to be a paper specially made for pt printing I cant think of any reason why they do such a dumb thing. (photrio.com)
If you have a paper that you like to print with, but it's too white for you, you can turn it into a warmer paper by tea-staining the finished print. (photrio.com)
Monochrome1
It is hoped that this extension of monochrome image-making may provide print-makers with a new dimension to explore in matching the colours of their prints to the expressive intent of their images. (scienceandmediamuseum.org.uk)
In 1989, as the culmination of six years research, Dr Mike Ware-then lecturer in chemistry at the University of Manchester and an exhibiting photographer-perfected formulae for iron-based gold printing sensitizers which are now fully published (9). (scienceandmediamuseum.org.uk)
Noble1
The reason for this is that platinum and palladium are noble metals, and they do not rust or tarnish. (figura.shop)

Commercially1
All commercially manufactured Platinum-based papers have been discontinued, hence why all our contemporary artists make their own Platinum photographic emulsion. (photographywest.com)
Image2
Creativity begins in the camera, but in the darkroom and now dimroom I thrive on the ability to change an ordinary image into something unique through gum, platinum, chromo, or mordancage, for instance. (alternativephotography.com)
I find when I print a colder image I like the bright white & with images that are more brown/sepia looking I go for the natural. (photrio.com)
Nanoparticle gold also has a very high photometric equivalent ('covering power'), making the medium significantly less expensive than platinumprinting (11). (scienceandmediamuseum.org.uk)
As I understand it, Platinotype is similar to COT320, but I've not used it. (photrio.com)
And I don't think COT 320 is similar to Platinotype but is instead very similar to Arches Platine. (photrio.com)

Today platinum and palladium prints are widely considered the princes of the photographic medium, and the greatest expressions of fine art photography. (goldstreetstudios.com.au)
