We at the Contact Printers Guild are happy to present a new series of tutorials centered on using large-format cameras and making contact prints. While some of our collectors are photographers themselves and hence familiar with many of these procedures, quite a few are non-photographers who might be interested in learning more about these topics.
The first tutorial, written by Matt Magruder, offers an introduction to platinum/palladium printing. Other tutorials will cover Azo, POP and silver gelatin printing as well the use of large-format cameras. If you have suggestions for additional topics, please don't hesitate to write to us.
Please select a topic of interest from the following list:
