I'm gathering all the supplies needed to start doing some Pt/Pd printing. I've been reading all the info online and watching the videos out there. Picked up the Christopher James book and the Ian Leake book is on the way. But, what I haven't yet encountered is some sort of discussion/rough guide to the PT/PD drop ratio to print tone.
If the the range is from warm brown (all Pd) to cool silvery (all Pt.) if would be great to have some sort of rough visual or descriptive guide as how much the ratio of drops of each in the sensitizer effects the tone of the print. Knowing that developer choice and temp have a great influence of final print tone. (I'm intending to print with room temp developer using ammonium citrate developer.)
In terms of silver printing I like Ilford Warm Tone fiber paper. I'm aiming for something similar or slightly warmer in tone.
