Digital BW, The Print

Richard,

When you say the current platinum prints don't match the vintage platinum prints, what do you mean?

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.
