This is really interesting.I’ve been printing platinum for a few years now and like you sometimes it just never goes right. But I’ve found that by doing a sacrifice to the Platinum gods just before a session it helps the end result..... I’m lucky my darkroom is ALWAYS 65-70% humidity.
Great video! It was interesting that the second print, before developing, looked like it had no detail, turned out great. Who knew? Also interesting is your humidification setup. I've never done that, but I live not too far from the ocean so maybe it isn't an issue?
It's funny because I built a UV exposure box for cyanotypes last winter. Total cost: about 30$, including a printing frame. I had the wood, the screws, switches, connectors and the glass. I got a 5 meter 120 LED/meter strip of UV LEDS, a 200W power supply for it and a small 12v industrial timer from Aliexpress. Now that is really not all that expensive for something that will allow me to make some 11x14 prints (and bigger if I don't put the box on it's feet).
man! this was dope. Thanks so much for sharing the process. My only concern is that I have a Canon Pro-1000 printer and not an Epson. I have never printed a negative. But I might give it a go. A 17x22 print on 20x24 paper would be a dream!! Thanks for the inspiration. My goal is to work with you in the future
