Known in the late 19th and early 20th centuries as platinotypes after the Platinotype Company, which manufactured platinum paper, beginning in 1879. The paper was saturated with a light sensitive mixture of potassium chloroplatinate and ferric oxalate. After exposure to a negative, the paper was washed with potassium oxalate, which precipitated out the platinum. An expensive, long-lasting, and stable process, the platinum print yields a wide range of soft-gray tones. |
