Digital BW, The Print

Pure Palladium prints tend to have very open shadows and very long upper midtones and highlights. �The actual density of Palladium prints is only about log 1.5 at the most, whereas inkjet, gelatin silver, POP, Carbon prints have much higher density or blacks. � Platinum/Palladium does have a very long EXPOSURE SCALE�it takes a very dense negative to print with the process. �Prints can vary from very warm tone to neutral black.

You can colorize prints to emulate it and adjust the tonal curve to mimic it. �The ABW feature of the Epson printers, when used with the warmer settings does a nice job of emulating it.
