That is a really nice Kallitype - beautiful tonality. I really like the neutral toning.
Well... after thinking about it a long time I took the plunge and bought a B&S Pt/Pd kit. Spent a few days linearizing a profile in QTR and ran two test prints - both about 5X7. Both came out fairly good, Dmax could be a bit better - have a tray of water in the bottom of my cabinet where I humidify my paper so the humidity was about 50-55%. Printed on HPR with the Na2 process - having done some Kallitype in the past I found this process much simpler ( but a lot more expensive) .....want to try some gum over Pt/Pd. Watched a couple of Bill Schwab videos ( so sorry to learn of his passing) and it seems fairly straightforward. I have some 5% gold chloride around from toning Kallitypes, I read that adding a drop to the Pt/Pd sensitizer would increase contrast and maybe help Dmax - anyone have any experience with that?
