Just as a quick aside, some of my recent experiments may idicate a mild
adverse reaction between the Platine paper and hydrogen peroxide.
Elimination of the single drop of H2O2 from my sensitizer results in much
smoother prints. I think this is a more pronounced effect than occurs
with other papers. The Fabriano, for example, doesn't seem to have a
problem with the peroxide at all.

Is this type of reaction totally unlikely? Anyone have any thoughts?
