Laboldtech Kit02 Palladium Starter Kit
The Laboldtech Kit02 Palladium Starter Kit provides an accessible introduction to one of photography’s most respected alternative printing processes. Designed for beginners, this comprehensive kit includes the essential sensitising solutions, developer, clearing chemicals, paper, and accessories needed to create beautiful palladium prints with their distinctive tonal richness, exceptional permanence, and handcrafted character.
Palladium printing is prized for its long tonal scale, deep shadow detail, warm image tones, and archival stability. Unlike silver-based prints, the image is formed from pure palladium metal embedded directly within the paper fibres, creating prints with extraordinary longevity and resistance to fading.
Why We Like It
Alternative process printing can feel intimidating at first, but this kit removes much of the guesswork by providing carefully selected chemicals and accessories in one package. The inclusion of developer, clearing agents, quality printing paper, and coating tools makes it an excellent starting point for anyone interested in exploring palladium printing without sourcing individual components separately.
