Hi Carl
I appreciate that you find the same result as me on Arches platine paper. I
also think that it is harder to contrast than Crane's or other brand. And
it need much more to give the same effect. For silver neg I always use
Crane's or Vinci paper.
When I do the test Na2 platinate salt this paper react the same way. Arches
platine need about 4 time that Crane's need. And I can go to print thin neg
( print on grade 5) without any prblem on Crane's but with arche's the
sensitizer can give enough contrast.
Amicalement
