Essential, high-quality papers for these processes include:
or are you looking to mix the chemicals from scratch?
Bostick & Sullivan offers various palladium, platinum, and combination kits, including palladium chloride, lithium palladium, and sensitized kits, often in 25ml, 35ml, and 100ml sizes.
In dimmed light, mix ferric oxalate with palladium salts to create the sensitizing agent.
For the photographic process of creating prints, you can purchase palladium chemistry kits and specialized paper from specialized photographic suppliers.
The light changes the chemical structure of the sensitizer. Develop the print using solutions such as potassium oxalate or ammonium citrate, which allows the palladium to precipitate into the paper fibers.
You will also need a UV light source (a simple UV LED lamp can work), a contact printing frame , a brush or rod for coating , and developing chemicals. Producing a Paper Print (The Process)
Place a contact negative (a negative the same size as the final image) directly onto the paper, hold it in a frame, and expose it to a strong UV light source (like sunlight or a UV lamp).
