Kerik Kouklis - Platinum-Gum Printing with Digital Negatives
Well start by making digital negatives with the QuadTone RIP program and Epson printers. Then well use these negatives to make platinum/palladium prints, and well cover the fundamentals of the gum bichromate process. Adding layers of gum bichromate to a platinum/palladium print can result in prints ranging from subtle to wildly colorful. Combining these processes allows you to use both the left and right sides of your brain to produce work thats uniquely yours. Darkroom or alternative process experience helpful but not required. Students should have basic skills in Photoshop
