How to Make Platinum Prints for SUPER Cheap? Sun Exposure!

[@barriewatts127]

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.

Nice hat, brother- and great info, as always.

Thanks 🤠

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

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).
