Having discovered that Hahnemuhle Platinum Rag (HPR) paper gave a much warmer platinum\/palladium (Pt\/Pd) print than Legion Lenox 100, I decided to try a few other papers just to see what happens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All of the prints show below were made under identical conditions (e.g. negative, exposure, processing) except for the paper used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The papers I used were:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Hahnemuhle Platinum Rag<\/a> (300 gsm)<\/li>
  2. Legion Lenox 100<\/a> (250 gsm)<\/li>
  3. Rives BFK<\/a> (280 gsm)<\/li>
  4. Fabriano Artistico (Hot Press)<\/a> (300 gsm)<\/li>
  5. Arches Johannot<\/a> (240 gsm)<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    All of these papers are high quality “art” papers and all, except for the Johannot, are 100% cotton. The HPR is designed specifically for alternative process printing such as I am doing here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In addition to these papers, I tried to coat a sheet of Arches Platine<\/a> (310 gsm), another paper designed specifically for alternative process printing. In this case the paper soaked up the sensitizer so rapidly that I could not spread out the puddle to cover the image area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The results are quite striking. All of the papers except for the HPR resulted in a neutral print while the HPR gave a very warm print. All of the papers except for the HPR could use a bit more exposure (and maybe a tweak to the curve used to print the negative), especially the Johannot, but I wanted to change only one variable so the conditions were optimized for the HPR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I have a few more papers that I want to try and then I’ll need to decide which one will be my “go to” paper for Pt\/Pd printing. After that, it will be time to stop testing and make some larger finished prints.<\/p>\n\n\n
