Re: a few questions - Fabriano EW and palladium
I looked at my last 8x10 piece of Fab EW, which has been acidified but not coated, and can see gold speckles on it, so I can eliminate any problems in coating, exposure or processing. Either this sheet of paper arrived like this or something happened in the acidification process. Fortunately, I have a new batch (10 sheets from Cheap Joe's end-of-year sale) which shows no defect. I'll acidify a few smaller pieces and inspect again upon drying...I'll report back again on the results...

At first I thought it was a coating problem due to sizing, and added a touch of Tween 20 to the solution, but the yellow speckles still showed up.
