RE: Paper for Pt/Pd
The paper (that I was sold was Diplomat with a Cranes's watermark) lost some of its color in ammonium citrate/EDTA/Phoenix AZ tap water wash (our water runs acidic and hard). I also got black spots, either on the surface, or within the paper, that I would have to curate off with an Xacto knife. When used "fresh" from the batch I ordered, it lost more color and I didn't notice the spots. After sitting for two years, it kept more color, but had spots. I'm not sure I trust a paper which has properties that seem to change over time in the same batch. Regardless of time, though, the watermark never interfered with the image (in the cases I wasn't able to cut around it).

Anyone else have this experience?
