There was a place in Denmark, where they made ready-coated photographic
handmade paper. There was so little demand, that that production has been
discontinued, but they have explored the field and might be able to share
their secrets.
There is a book by Anne Vilsbøll (in Danish) "Papir mageri 2", ISBN
87-418-5726-7, where one might find a lot of useful information and
addresses. One does not have to understand Danish for that.
Hope, that helps.
Regards,
Galina.
