I have made Van Dyke prints that have been confused with platinum. The
question that I have posed to some platinum workers has been why they use the
process instead of the considerably less expensive Kallitype-type processes.
The answer is always that the gradation is superior, but with this discussion
I'm guessing that that might not be the case.

So why do people use the expensive platinum process? Are the comments of the
difficulty of determining the difference of the result of the two processes not
accurate?

Cheers -
