FRANALOG Edeldruck Shop

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.

Tis developer produces a warmbrown to black colour tone.                                                                                 The solution can be use nearly indefinitely but has to be filtered from time to time. Good for 4 liters of working solution.

Arrowroot binder acts as a sizing agent.

An advantage over normal gelatin is a warmer color.
