Reading Response #8

In this section of reading it pretty much went back over and reemphasized the importance of having a good paper for platinum/palladium printing. Paper that gets over-saturated causes the sensitizer to bulk in areas and ruin the paper & in turn the print. This “effect” is not a wanted one and its referred to as bronzing. I personally did not have this problem when printing, but I do remmeber a few people in the class did. The most important thing I got out of Christopher’s chapters on platinum/palladium & Ken’s advising is that overall the most important thing is having a good negative density and that digital negatives are more trouble then they end up being worth for the most part.
