Negative Density: Platinum prints require very dense negatives to produce a good quality print. This section explain how  the tonal scale between the shadows and the highlights should be in the negative used for platinum and palladium prints. A high contrast negative is much better to use as we saw from hands on experience and from James’ chapter on platinum prints. When coating my paper, I personally found that the chemicals were beading up on the particular one I was using. I believe the correct choice in paper is also very important.
