Paul, Don't you think before you cast aspersions on Mike Ware that you get
it straight from the man instead of a , I kind of remember it this way,
statement from Judy. In the context of a city department, a few grams here
and there is not worth their time to police even if they know it is wrong.
It might have been better if he offered up a solution to the problem
disposal. 

To the cost of a print in the video, he does include the name of another
person that gave him the figure. He may not have the math to convert the
currency on the fly. It can be a little miss leading as to the actual cost
of PT/PD printing on a cost per sheet of prepared paper. It was a cost for
that 11x14 thrown in the trash. It could have been that that mistake
included all the issues. I'd certainly not get too bent out of shape about
that.  

But in my 30 years of PT/PD printing I have heard all sorts of insane quotes
about platinum printing, cost, cause and effects. Over all the presentation
is very good. Relaxed, loose, informative but alludes to just how many
issues you can or may need to pay attention to when printing.

I call bullshit on Mike Ware...

If you care of stewardship for the land, you will make the small effort to 
bring your waste, however minute or dilute you may think it is, to a local 
toxic disposal center. Or you can always evaporate the water from a 
dichromated solution and make it easier to dispose of in a proper manner.

Judy, I've heard you tell this stort before and I don't doubt it, but that 
type of cavalier attitude by the "captain" is exactly what's wrong with so 
many "experts".

Be on the safe side, care about where you live, do the right thing. Period.

Paul
