Hi Stephen
I would recommend buying "The New Platinum Print" - details on Bostick & Sullivan's web site athttp://www.bostick-sullivan.com/
I recently started using their "Ziatype" printing method for palladium/platinum printing, and have been using my 5x4" negatives. The only downside is that I haven't found a good source in the UK for all the chemicals, so a lot of the stuff I bought from the USA. You will need the chemicals, a paper-coating rod, a contact printing frame, and an Ultra-Violet light source. The great thing about Ziatype is that you can inspect the print during exposure.
The book I mentioned also has a chapter on making digital negatives suitable for platinum printing, and details on using Pyro developer in a Jobo processor. I had never taken a B&W photograph before starting out with this book, so it certainly gets my recommendation.
Best regards
