NA2 Doubt!

photo8x10 · Dec 20, 2006

I've started to use the NA2 for my platinum/palladium prints, but nopt I've a doubt! Can I use it with my platinum/palladium moisture?I usually use such as 6 drops of solution A and 4 drops of palladium and 2 drops of Platinum, before I used to mix also the solution B, now I'm using the NA2 solution, It's work with the platinum/palladium mix?
Thanks a lot for every answers,

Best

It only works as a contrast agent with pure palladium according to the Arentz book. Any platinum renders it ineffective as a contrast control agent.

I use it with success with pure palladium and with plalladium/platinum mix.
The best if you want to be sure is a test. Coat the same piece of paper with and without Na2, expose for the same time some step tablet. Count the visible steps.

I have heard some say 'yes' others say 'no'. I guess the best thing is to just give it a try. I would be interested to know what others have tried in this regard and what the actual 'difference' was. I.e. color or contrast, or a little of both?

This issue was addressed rather thoroughly in a recent thread. See (there was a url link here which no longer exists)

Check out in particular what Clay Harmon has to say.
