Digital BW, The Print

Jim,

You might like to take a look at Ron Reeder's website where there's a
detailed article on the process he uses to produce the most stunning
pigmented platinum prints.  The article is based on a paper he and
Brad Hinkel wrote in the July/August 2003 issue of View Camera.

The article is at: http://www.ronreeder.com/pigplat/
