Description

THE NEW CHRYSOTYPE  
The New Chrysotype process has tonal and surface qualities with the permanence like Platino-palladiotype, but a bonus feature of beautiful muted colours controlled by the chemistry of the process. Photographic artists should discover a whole new palette of colour to explore in printing archivally permanent ‘monochrome’ images in hand-coated noble metal sensitisers: http://www.mikeware.co.uk/mikeware/New_Chrysotype_Process.html

THE CHRYSOTYPE HISTORY
Herschel’s original gold-printing process of 1842, which he called Chrysotype, encountered problems with chemistry and cost which prevented its adoption into the photographic repertoire, as ecounted: http://www.mikeware.co.uk/mikeware/Prints_of_Gold.html

This ‘forgotten’ process was revived by Mike Ware in 1987 by means of some sophisticated modern chemistry, making it both economic and controllable as described in: http://www.goldbulletin.org/downloads/ware_3_39.pdf
