Dickbo,

What do you mean re-invent ziatype? Ziatypes have such a 
variation in color/contrast etc. depending on what mix 
you start with. What was he up to? Enquiring minds want 
to know.

Of course if you were about to market something 
as 'digital platinum' (a buzz word I've heard bantered 
round these parts) then Carl would certainly be a guy 
whose opinion you might seek out.

Carl Weese is a very good platinum printer, but I would not go so far as to
say that he is "the nation's recognized expert on everything platinum". In
fact, there are many irregularities and mistakes in technique in his book.
There are many platinum printers in the US  and rest of the world that are
just as technically capable if not better.
