Had Mr. Fox Talbot in 1833 not had the brilliant idea to convert (on paper) silver nitrate with salt to silver chloride, we would certainly not be in the fortunate position today to produce salt prints as such, and this in infinite variations. The salt print was the first silver picture produced at all; a revolution that inspires people until today.Not without reason, because the salt print with its endless varieties of browns belongs to the finest alternative prints at all. It is therefore not surprising that today, after almost 200 years , it is experiencing a vital renaissance.

The platinum print is produced by contact print method under UV light . The color shades range from  cool brown to jet black . Platinum is very expensive , but rewarded with exceptionally exciting results . The color of the prints depend, among other, crucially on the kind of  developer and the paper used . Therefore I recommend   to use a top quality paper made ​​by Canson " Arches platine". This paper, made of pur cotton had specially beendesigned for  alternative printing processes . There are 3 different developers available in this shop. To each order I enclose a comprehensive instruction manual.

The palladium print is one of the most precious printing techniques ,  produced in contact printing process using UV light. The warm tones move from medium to dark brown  , up to a deep black . The print color  depends, among other largely on the kind of the developer and paper used. I therefore recommend a paper Hahnemühle"  Ülatinum Rag 300 grams  which had been especially concipated for alternative printig processes.

Albumin - Kit 50                                                                                                                                        Did you know that  in the mid-19th century in Germany alone approximately 70,000 chicken eggs had been  processed  to albumin each day in order to produce coated paper? What then was good, can not be bad today. It is by all means not; it's even great! But you shall find that out for yourself. The albumin print is practically a refined salted print with  brown to black colour, but with a uniquely brilliant, clear and much more contrasting picture effect.

Ambrotypes are negative images shot in camera. The blacking on clear glas or dark coated aluminum plate will make Ambrotypes appear as positive images. This is a wet plate process where a glas plate is coated with collodion emulsion, exposed and processed in the darkroom before the emulsion dries. Ambrotype photographs appear grainless with a unique luminosity.
