Re: Platinum look on a ink jet

2010-01-27 by ric_kb

Several other subscribers have answered this, and with answers that I can agree with. However, if what you didn't ask, but may have meant to, went something like "can you fool people who are familiar with plats with a digital print," then my answer would be:
at three feet and under glass, yep, most of the people can be fooled, but not at 3 inches.

In fact the plats printed over the past 30 years don't match those printed around the turn of that last century. 

In 1970 I was lucky enough to get 3 platinum prints that had been made around 1910.

The prints I have seen current workers doing do not match those from a hundred years ago, they barely make it at the 3 foot test.
