Just as an observation it is worth pointing out some of the finest platinum
pints made, those of Frederick Evans for example, were made on factory
coated paper.
I have seen good prints on Palladio paper, but it is important to use the
right negative for the product.
I prefer to coat my own paper as I find it cheaper and I can vary the
contrast and gradation by changing the mixes.
With Palladio one is paying for convenience.
