Platinum-Palladium Prints at Weldon Color Lab

Weldon Color Lab is thrilled to officially announce the addition of Platinum-Palladium printing services for photographers. Platinum-Palladium prints are unrivaled by any modern printing technique, both in appearance and performance. These prints, created on Hahnemuhle paper, are favored by art collectors due to their longevity, achieving an archival rating in excess of 1500 years. In terms of appearance platinum palladium prints create an added sense of depth, and the tonal range of the prints is unmatched.

Dating back to the 1870s, this handmade photographic-printmaking technique was created through contact printing, meaning the photographic negative matches the size of the final print. As a result, photographers of the times were more limited to what size they could make their prints. Now we can make “digital negatives” up to 44” wide!
