Description
Ligand solution
The function of the Ligand solution is to bind to the gold chloride, moderating its reactivity in the Chrysotype print process.
The New Chrysotype process has tonal and surface qualities with a permanence like Platino-palladiotype. It has a bonus feature of beautiful muted colours controlled by the chemistry of the process. Photographic artists should discover here a whole new palette of non-literal colour from pink, blues and greens, to explore in printing archivally permanent ‘monochrome’ images in hand-coated noble metal sensitizers:
