RE: Mike Ware's POP Pt./Pd. Pt



I know what Na2 is and have used it as a contrast agent. I just did not know that it was called Platinum 6. Several people I know have adopted this method of contrast control and it does have some advantages. However, I have continued to use dichromate for straight palladium work because the use of Na2 causes a shift in color, i.e. the more you add the more neutral the color becomes, whereas with dichromate you get the same color over a wide contrast range. At least that is my experience. I believe you suggested in an earlier message that the use of dichromates causes a change in color, but I sure have not found that to be the case with pure palladium.

interesting information on POP too.

I would recommend using Platinum 6 as a contrast agent for DOP. I can work
very well. Dichromate is very effective in POP but affects printing colour.
