I did not make a print with it myself. I also understand that the
print that I have required the addition of a small amount of
surfactant to thesensitizer, to provide a maximum D-Max. I don't have
a reflexion densitometer at hand but the blacks certainly compare
favorably with the other Pt/Pd prints in my collection. There have
been several small batches of Platine as they are trying to make it
with just the right surface absorbency. The next one should be right
on.
