Re: Reduced Dmax with overexposure in Pt/Pd

Could it be solarization?

there was an  anomaly that surprised. When making test prints with a 
step wedge I generally overexpose by 2-3 stops. What I noticed in 
looking at the curves, and this was true of curves with all of the 
lights tested, is that there is actually a rather significant 
decrease in Dmax, or maximum density, with overexposure. By 
significant I mean between log 0.05 - 0.10.

Is this something that one generally expects to encounter in platinum 
printing?
