platinum printing

[philip_sweeney]

I see and hear so much about platinum prints. I am a little isolated

and would like to see some. I am 90 miles from Philadelphia PA and 25

miles from Harrisburg PA. Does anyone know a platinum printer close to

me? Or recommend a museum which may currently have a platinum print

exhibit? And what book would you recommend as best for platinum printing?

Philip:

 

If you are where you say you are, you aren't that far from NYC. (drive to Harrisburg and catch the train)

 

It's worth the trip!

 

In the Big Apple, there are dozens of private galleries and several museums with great collections.

Philip,

<P>

One of the best is Dick Arentz. His web site at <A HREF="http://www.dickarentz.com">http://www.dickarentz.com</a>. The web is not the best medium for this, but it should give you an idea. Also, his book "Platinum & Palladium Printing" is quite good (although quite technical). It is a how-to book if you are looking for that.

<P>

An excellent site for all-around alternative processing is <A HREF="http://bostick-sullivan.com">http://bostick-sullivan.com</A>. Be sure to check out their section on Ziatypes as long as you are there.<P>

Enjoy,

if you' ll go to Ny try to visit http://www.johnstevenson-gallery.com

 

For the book I think that the Sullivan and Weese cover both POP and DOp process and are interesting.

The last Arentz also really great if you think you will do only D.O.P.
