IR and Pt/Pd printing....

Has anyone printed pt/pd using infrared negs? If so, how well does it work? I've got some Kodak HIE 4x5 I'm willing to play with, and I just got my first Pd printing kit from Bostick & Sullivan.

On a somewhat unrelated topic, where do I get some glass eyedroppers in various sizes, to use with the palladium?

I have tried Ziatype printing using some 8x10 IR negs. Here are some links to the ones I've done: http://dianemaher.fotopic.net/p9564485.html

As for the eyedroppers, I've just bought the plastic ones from B&S. I imagine that you can buy them at any local drugstore if you want.

You can get the eye droppers from any pharmacist. Or go here:

A pharmacist may question your motives for wanting dropper bottles, but they loosen up when you sound like you know what you are talking about.

Plastic droppers provide more uniform sized drops from dropper to dropper than glass does. Call B&S and they can sell you some.

I think the idea of Infrared and PT/PD is an GREAT idea, kind of....

On one level, some Infrared negs would benefit from the slow curve of PT/PD... beautiful rendition of the contrast....

However on the other hand Infrared really benefits from the intense blacks of silver...

I would love to see the results.
