Photographic works created with the platinum/palladium printing process typically feature warm black tones characterized by moderate contrast, subtle gradation, smooth tonal transitions, unique textural qualities, elegant tonality, and exceptional archival permanence. Platinum and palladium, being inert precious metals of the same group, exhibit remarkable stability. Pure platinum prints tend toward cooler black tones, while pure palladium prints lean toward warmer brown tones. By blending platinum and palladium in varying ratios, a nuanced spectrum of distinctive tonal renditions can be achieved.
