RE: Platine
DEAR DAN, I agree completely. At the cost of the PT & PD salts I hardly ever use anything other than COT 320. Even with cyanotype, I have commercial work pressures so, when I print cyano where the chems are cheap, my time is more valuable than the difference in cost between COT 320 and cheaper papers. I am not saying that one shouldn’t use other papers that have different qualities (surface texture, color, thickness, translucence, etc) I am just saying that I use what works best and keeps me from having to redo things. CHEERS!

I was stung with two different batches of crap Platine about five years ago so lesson learned. The Bergger Cot 320 might be more expensive but it's never trashed a day of printing.

Ah, probably no. I pounded (and wasted time) with old and new cyanotype and Platine and was plagued with mottling... I assumed "Good for Platinum, good for Cyanotype." I did not try Pt/Pd, but I suspect I was seeing something similar (similar "siderotype" process). Brian P.S.
