He has done a number of group workshops around the country on Precision Digital Negatives with Platinum and Palladium printing—both privately and in conjunction with workshop series such as the Photographers' Formulary. Mark's Precision Digital Negatives approach to contact printing alternative processes has been highly successful and well received—it is currently being used at some universities to teach alternative processes.

Mark's presentation will cover the use of digital negatives with alternative processes, how they work and methods for enhancing printing with digital negatives so that the prints can rival and even surpass those from traditional negatives.
