platinum print
Precious metal photography
A platinum print is a photographic print made using platinum salts rather than silver, producing rich tonal range and exceptional permanence.
The process, popular among fine art photographers, yields images with subtle gradations and a matte finish.
Platinum prints resist fading far better than silver prints: The museum's platinum prints from the 1890s still look pristine.
