By iron-based, I'm speaking of cyanotype, vandyke, and kallitype. Trust
me that palladium is much more involved and expensive!

Trevor's comment is the first time I heard of an iron-based process,
so I googled and found this

Fascinating, but too much to read in a month!
I'm glad the alternative process I'll use most is much less
complicated -- making palladium prints. The platinum/palladium on
gold backed vellum I made for this week's gallery was more
complicated, done at a workshop, but just about everything was already
at hand.
But speaking of buying equipment, I've decided to get a scanner so
that I can scan my palladium prints rather than take digital photos of
them. I see the difference clearly between my submission this week
and the scan of another workshop participant. His really looks like gold.

*yawn*
how about Yoram's image in the gallery this week?
a hybrid of digital and analog, antiquated processes with new life
breathed into them...i've belonged to an alt-process list for years
now and print almost exclusively in iron...i find this type of
printing exciting...don't need a darkroom, or a Swartzoflex 5000
(although i hear the Swartzoflex 5000s is the new must have)...
