Nice work Rene.

A tiny remark; I think I see some yellowing around the image, under the
negative mask - could be my screen. If it's indeed that way then you may
retest if the negative's density range is enough and/or review your clearing
procedure and/or check if the chemistry is fresh / non-contaminated and/or
try some other papers (some papers just don't work well).

BTW, I happen to like inkjet / alt-process hybrid prints and I'm not put off
by the idea. Nor I'm put off by the Metalotype idea of inkjet printing with
pt/pd (or similar noble metal) "inks" and think they could stand as
something by themselves - as long as they aren't masqueraded as being
"traditional"(!) prints.

(!) OTOH, how much "traditional" is a pt/pd print from a digital negative +
artificial light source, always remain as an issue to consider of course...
(Not that I'm trying to open a can of worms... but?)

Regards,
Loris.

I have done this following Ron Reeder's instruction and using QTR digital
negative and palladium. Here are my results

I can't seem to find the instructions that I used on Ron's web site, but
they used to be there. I did the inkjet printing on my Epson 4000 and then
did the palladium layer over that--makes registration easier. The inkjet
does not wash away and well you can see the results.

Happy to answer questions.
