This is interesting. What are the advantages of sizing paper for platinum? What is
the effect? How do your prints on hand sized paper differ from prints on unsized
paper?

Do any of the other pt/pd printers on this list routinely size their papers? I use
Cranes Platinotype and Arches Platine (and occasionaly Magnani Italia). Does anyone
size those papers for use with pt/pd?
