There is a very good site to get information.
http://www.mikeware.demon.co.uk
Mike Ware is a chemist who has reworked some of the older processes to
make the results more consistent. I first learned of his work from
Pradip Malde(I took a work shop on Platinum-Palladium taught by Pradip).
His site has several papers describing Playinum-Palladium, Argyrotype,
Cyanotype, and preparations for alternative processing.
I hope that this will prove useful. A WARNING: Alternative processes
are habit forming and probably addictive!!! ;)
