A lithium palladium print that has been exposed and allowed to sit without washing and clearing will progressively turn brown. Colors vary with paper, humidity level and amount replaced. As more is replaced, the contrast increases. Variations in color can be obtained by mixing brown additives with the gold chloride. The possibilities are endless and have not all been tested.
Individual printers can develop unique combinations to suit their own needs and desires.
The Ziatype was named for the ancient New Mexico Anasazi pueblo people's symbol for the sun. The Zia is the familiar circular image with 4 sets of 4 rays seen on the flag of New Mexico. It seemed appropriate as our business is located in New Mexico and I had been using its sun to make the prints.
