Jeffrey,

I'll be interested to try your modification to the Ziatype formula.

As for Ziatype being another Pt/Pd print: that's exactly what Dick
Sullivan and I presented it as in our book last year. We called the book
"The New Platinum Print" (not "The Ziatype") specifically to indicate
that the book would present a large overview of both old and new
approaches to making prints in Pt/Pd. The traditional method, the Zia,
and variations with brush development are all methods and control
systems to give the photographer a range of color and tone options
within the Pt/Pd medium. What's new about the book's approach is
precisely that it treats all of these old and new methods as a single
extended process offering creative options to the print maker. I hope
your formula variation expands the pallette of options still farther and
I look forward to testing it.

---Carl
