BUXTON Platinotype printing paper

Originally developed to provide an inert paper medium to take photographic emulsions for the Platinotype process, at the instigation of Dr Mike Ware, the paper has recently been technically improved to provide a denser sheet and smoother surface for easier coating with the various emulsions.  A heavier weight sheet is also available to facilitate the production of larger images.

This white paper is produced from 100% security grade cotton fibre, with only a reactive internal sizing agent to ensure a good degree of impermeability.  The handmade sheets are heavily pressed several times in both wet and dry states to reduce porosity and to create the desired surface.

TALBOT Gelatine sized printing paper.

This paper has been developed for use with other processes such as the gold based chrysotype and gum bichromate.  The paper is tub sized with a high purity grade of hide gelatine.

The papers are available in the following weights and sizes :

BUXTON   160gm² & 240gm²       56 x 76 cms  or boxed set of  12 sheets  25 x 28 cms
