Topic: Platinum/Palladium Supplies

[charles binns]

I am about to try my hand at printing platinum and palladium toned Kallitypes. 

I've been looking for UK suppliers of Potassium Chloroplatinate and Sodium Chloropalladite but haven't been able to find any UK suppliers of these chemicals (bar one, a chemical company who are much much pricier than Bostick & Sullivan in the US).

I can buy these chemicals from Bostick & Sullivan in the US but does anyone know of any suppliers in the UK who could source me them?

Thanks.

Dave Higgs is the person to ask. I'm pretty sure he obtains all his chemicals from Bostick & Sullivan though...

Thanks.  I have done a pretty exhaustive interweb search and B&S seem to be the only option so I'll probably go ahead and put an order in them.

You can also check http://www.artchemicals.com/
But I don't know how their service is since I never did business with them.
