Nick,
"ziatype" is simply a method of making Pt/Pd prints. It's a fully Print Out
method, no separate development step, and you print by inspection instead of
test strip. This means there's more self-masking than develop out Pt/Pd and
so it can deal with contrastier negatives, and will need some contrast agent
for 'normal' develop-out negs. Any negative aimed at Pt/Pd will print in
zia, a negative aimed at zia will usually print in develop-out though it
might be a little snappy. This _should_ apply to digitally generated
negatives but I haven't tried.---Carl
