QTR-Quadtone RIP

Patrick, This is just another example of what a platinum print IS NOT! Do
you do any platinum printing? Palladium printing? Platinum/palladium? With
or with out gold?  It is possible that somehow the sample used on  

 

I have been doing platinum/palladium printing since 1982. It is really a
false premise to say it looks like platinum. The like you provided lead me
to a really reddish print; looks very palladium like to me. But there is not
just ONE developer for platinum/palladium printing. We all develop our own
unique color and some like Bostick and Sullivan even try and make people
believe that a whole new process, the Ziatype, is different than a
platinum/palladium print. 

 

By the same token, you can not simply say "selenium" tone as if it is a
color; it is a toner capable of producing a range of colors. The ONLY way to
make a platinum/palladium toned print is to actually use it. Everything else
is a joke. I am not trying to be a snob here either, but rather just calling
it like I see em'. There are many colors, split tones, cold tones, etc but
the need to try and market a print with a process name that is neither that
process nor the color is a joke.
