Dear Adam-
I'm not sure if it will help, but when I print Ammonium Pd, I usually
add 3-5 drops of 3% gold chloride (per 8x10). Don't use the gold if
you're using Pt or Pt/Pd. Are you using Hot Pressed? It really has a
kind of raised surface, and I haven't had a lot of luck with it.
However, I have had good luck with Cranes cover 80lb, which was much
discussed just recently. Other favorites for the Ware/Malde process are
Platine and Wyndstone Vellum 5pt. I have also tried some Twinrocker
hand made paper, both "White All Purpose" and "White Cotton Rag".
When I print, I use a 50/50 mixture of Pt and Pd.
Best,
Dan Donovan
