I have found that with cyanotype and vandyke brown (and to a lesser
extent with gum) there is a TERRIFIC difference in contrast range
according to the paper. In other words, a "normal" view-camera negative
that would be too thin to print in cyanotype on many/most papers, like
Strathmore drawing, and are believed to require "punchier" negatives, will
print very nicely on a steeper paper, like Coventry rag, among others.
I haven't got enough experience with platinum/palladium to know if they
will do the same, but you've got all those dandy new tests.....

It's 3:40 Am. Gum printers never sleep.
