Arches® Platine

Arches® Platine

100% cotton, without reserve alkaline nor acid, without optical brighteners, it is manufactured on round form. Pure white, it is particularly suitable for platinum-palladium printing and the preservation of photographic works, including cyanotypes, platinotypes, protein papers, silver gelatin papers or color processes.

The new formula:

• always without reserve alkaline (without calcium carbonate supply, the latter being incompatible with alternative processes)
• at neutral to slightly acidic pH
• without optical brighteners
• with a satin surface

This new formula gives ARCHES® Platine an even whiter color (always without brightener), which restores and accentuates contrasts and “makes” the details. The higher Dmax enhances the depth of blacks.

The ideally glued paper allows a perfect impregnation. The absorption of the photosensitive solution containing the platinum and palladium salts does not imply a systematic use of the additives

The new grammage:

Already available in 310 g / m², ARCHES® Platine paper is now available in145 g / m², which is particularly suitable for book publishing and smaller standard sizes.
