Laboldtech Kit01 Platinotype Starter Kit

The Laboldtech Kit01 Platinotype Starter Kit is a complete beginner kit for exploring traditional platinum printing, one of the most beautiful and permanent alternative photographic processes. Platinum prints are valued for their wide tonal scale, deep shadow detail, neutral black tones, and exceptional archival stability, making this kit a strong starting point for photographers interested in fine art contact printing.

Why We Like It

Platinotype is a slow, hands-on process, but that is exactly where its appeal lies. This kit brings together the key chemistry, clearing baths, paper, and basic coating tools needed to begin experimenting without having to source each item separately. It is best suited to careful, methodical printers working with digital negatives or suitably dense large format negatives under UV exposure.
