Lierre - Platine/palladium



"The concentration of iron that represents a superposition of iron from paper (paper impurity) and remaining iron from the photochemical process is very low and that speaks to very good clearing and washing accomplished using EDTA processing. Analyzed images will be very stable for a long time period. The FTIR analysis has not shown any organic impurities or remaining oxalate. That also speaks to very good processing of the submitted photographs."
