[alt-photo] Re: Question for Platinum/Palladium printers

[David Ashcraft]

Hi Mark,
I am currently printing using the PT/PD Ratio method developed 3 min  
in Ox or Am Citrate.  I use LegacyPro from Freestyle, the MSDS list:  
sodium sulfite, potassium metabisulfite, trisodium citrate, disodium  
EDTA.  Mixed as directed on the packaging in 3 baths, 5min each,  
around 70 degrees, wash for half hour.  And always cross my fingers  
and toes!

Happy New Year,
David
