Catherine, have you had luck printing palladium on any paper? 

I ask, because Cot 320 is often considered the gold standard for pt/pd printing and it is usually easier to reach a good dmax on that paper than others. The good folks here can help you figure out what's going wrong if you can provide some more info on your process.

What size image are you printing and how many drops of what solutions are you using? Not using enough solution or mixing a very contrasts solution can affect dmax.

Really low humidity can also result in a lower dmax when printing, such as using a hair dryer on the print then immediately exposing it.

Can you provide links digital images of the prints on Flickr or some other location? (This list doesn't accept attachments so the images need to be hosted somewhere else.)
