Print of the Month!

After taking a month off, the print of the month is back with something special.  For the month of August I am offering a handmade Platinum print of "Maple in Storm".  This is a 5X7 inch platinum and Palladium print on 100% cotton paper.  The platinum process is known for its rich tonal beauty and its archival permanence.  What you get is a 5X7 inch print on 7.5X11 inch rag paper, ready to be matted and framed for $30.00 S&H included.

I am taking the month off to spent with our new son. My wife gave birth to Aiden last week. So I am taking the month off to spend with family. All other prints will still be for sale and I will get them out as quickly as possible. Thanks for understanding.

More Platinum printing

Making platinum prints can be very rewarding and very frustrating at the same time. Since getting back into doing the Pt/Pd printing a few weeks ago I have really nailed down my process to where I can make very good, not Master printer good, but the best I have made in the year of tinkering around. In all I have made 8 prints that I would be proud to show off. If you know me I am very fussy about my prints both Inkjet and now Pt/Pd. That is until last weekend. I was getting low on paper so I ordered a some new paper to print on. Now paper is the one thing that Alternative process printers can’t control. We are at the mercy of the mills. If they change something we need to adapt. Well this new batch of paper is slightly different than before. Also it was hot outside and with my pregnant wife at the controls for the air conditioner the house was much dryer and cooler than the previous weeks. Yes a 10% change in relative humidity can make a world of difference in how your prints turn out. So all in all last weekend I made 7 prints (all this practice and I’m getting faster at making prints) and I would say 4 are junk destined for the shredder. I am planning on trying to pre humidify the paper this weekend. I rigged up a homemade, most everything in this process is, paper humidifier box so we will see if that helps.
