Ginger, it seems likely that your palladium prints aren't completely
cleared. You didn't mention what paper you are using, some (Platine, for
instance) seem to hang onto palladium more tenaciously than others. How
are you clearing? Have you tried Kodak Hypo Clear as a final bath before
washing?> > This is the best way I have found to clear palladium from

Good luck!
