A 500 mM stock solution of ammonium iron oxalate trihydrate ((NH4)3[Fe(C2O4)3]·3H2O, Alfa Aesar, 98%), and a 70 mM stock solution of ammonium tetrachloroplatinate ((NH4)2[PtCl4], Alfa Aesar, 99.9% metal basis) in deionized water (conductivity 16–18 MΩ) were prepared and stored in the dark at 4 °C. The platinum ink (a 1:1 mixture by volume of (NH4)3[Fe(C2O4)3] and (NH4)2[PtCl4]) stock solutions was always freshly prepared prior to the laser printing experiments.
