SILVER GELATIN PRINT
The silver gelatin process is available through specialist fibre- based papers coated with a suspension of silver salts in gelatin. When exposed to light, atoms of free metalic silver are liberated to form an image, and the final print consists of metallic silver embedded into a gelatin coating. Prints have a strong tonal range with luscious metallic blacks giving a dramatic and sensitive beauty.
PALLADIUM PLATINUM PRINT
Prints made by the platinum process are some of the most beautiful, giving punchy whites and the deepest of blacks. The effect is achieved by using the light sensitivity of iron in the presence of organic material to turn platinum salts into metal, particles of which are set into the paper surface, so finely, that they give a depth to the image that can be achieved by no other process.
