New Book: The Platinum Printing Workshop

[Ian Leake]

After four years, I have finally finished the second edition of my book The Platinum Printing Workshop. It covers all the significant variants of the developing-out process and the printing-out process. For the historically minded, it also includes the text of William Willis Jr's platinotype patents. In all it has 192 pages of platinum/palladium printing joy!

Full details are here: http://ianleake.com/the-platinum-printing-workshop/

Your first book was extremely helpful for me in using the Dichro method.
Looking forward to the new edition.

 

[Ian Leake]

Thanks everyone. I'd love to hear your thoughts once you've read it.

Canadian buyers beware!!!

my book arrived today
granted the checkout page does say
"customs, import duties, taxes or brokerage fees may be levied"

so in addition to paying $39 for the book and $6.99 for shipping (US$)

I "enjoyed" (not!) the privilege of paying an additional $17.44 (CDN$) for a small book which normally would be mailed for the cost of $6.99. The taxes were $2.48 the handling charges were $14.25, remember that is in addition to the $6.99 for shipping.

note to self in the future always ask if the book will be shipped by USPS
couriers (it came by DHL express) love to add on significant "handling charges" for us Canadians

in summary what looks like a $39 purchase costs us Canadians $77.69 in Cdn $. Hope it is worth it…..!

 

[Bob Carnie]

Hope its worth it.. are you kidding me.. Ian Leake is one of the top pt pd printers in the world.

If you want bring the book to me I will buy it off you to save you the money....

Bob, I will let you know after I read it….

I think we are entitled to a little rant every now and then when the on-line documentation is ambiguous over how the item will be shipped, and what the total costs will be….

 

[Bob Carnie]

My offer is for before you read it.

I'm sorry to hear this, although shipping costs and customs duties are outside my control.

I do offer a PDF version for people who prefer that format.

Mine arrived yesterday. Will give it a quick look and then tear into it over the weekend. Very nice work Ian, and having been in the printing business forever and a day, they did a nice job on the printing, halftones, and perfect binding. Good job.

 

[Jim Moore]

I received my yesterday. It contains a wealth of information and the photos are truly stunning. I can’t wait to begin putting what I am learning from the book into practice.

 

[Ian Leake]

Thanks If you have any questions or have other feedback then do please send me an email. I will compile an errata page and put it on my website.

i have been doing pt/pl printing for 5-7 years and took a couple of years off. got this book and read it to review what i knew and what i forgot. OMG this book was crazy good. the images a so stunning. If you want to get into this or review the process it is worth the money I paid. Thank you Ian for getting it to me so fast.
