I just purchased 50 sheets of Japon Simili 225 gm for Pt/Pd printing and it
seems there is a metal contaminate in the paper. I have spent one entire
day trouble shooting this problem and I am not having any problems with
other papers sa platine. I even changed hair dryers thinking that perhaps
it was spitting out flecks of metal. Nope! Finally realized it is the paper
that is guilty.
Does anyone use this paper and have similar problems. I then tried
brushing the Japon Simili paper with an anti static brush, cleaning with
a vacuum, etc with no luck . Each print in the highlights has one or two or
even three small black craters in it. Any experience with Japon Simili ?
Any ideas how to clean off the paper assuming the contaminate lies of the
surface. Perhaps it is in the fibers and impossible to remove. ???
