The Gum Platinum Process is a photographic printing technique that combines the textural qualities of gum bichromate with the tonal richness and permanence of platinum printing. By using a gum-based colloid along with platinum salts, photographers can produce prints with subtle colour layering and exceptional detail.
This process allows for creative control over tone, texture, and image depth, making it popular among alternative process enthusiasts. Understanding the gum platinum process enables photographers to produce unique, archival-quality images with a distinct artistic character.
