Re: Paper Hunt for kallitype

David,

The long and the short of it is that papers that work well for 
Pt./Pd. also work well for kallitype. COT 320 is among the best in my 
opinion. Stonhenge Rising White has also worked well consistently for 
me over the years, though it does not give quite as much Dmax as COT 
320. Some papers work much better if you give them a brief oxalic 
acid pre-soak, but that is another can of worms.

Mixed review on Lennox. I had great results with Lennox several years 
ago, and based on those results box a couple of hundred sheets of the 
same paper. Big mistake, because the new stuff does not work very 
well at all. But the new stuff is now over two years old, so maybe 
the newer new stuff might work.
