Sorry, I'm confused... not being a platinum printer I don't know
the answer to this question from experience, and reading the
discussion isn't helping, given the seemingly opposite descriptions
sampled above: does dry-down in pt/pd usually result in increased
DMax, or decreased DMax, compared to the wet print? Thanks,
