Large Format Platinum-Palladium Prints
   
Combining digital tools with the manual practice of platinum-palladium printing.   Thanks to the combination of digital tools and manual platinum-palladium printing, it is now possible to make large format contact prints.

To produce these prints, the use of specific tools is essential, some of which have been made to measure: a vacuum exposure unit, a UV exposure unit, an in-sink tray rocking system, etc.

Bâmiyân Panorama
 
A picture 1.6m high and 16m long.   At the end of 2016, artist Pascal Convert and the Le Fresnoy Contemporary Arts Studio asked the workshop to make a palladium print of a panoramic image representing the cliff in Afghanistan where the Bâmiyân Buddhas used to be before they were destroyed.

Measuring 1.60m high and 16.00m long, this image was printed in March and April 2017 in the form of fifteen 160x106cm panels.
