Joe,

yes, this may be it. I have so far mostly used Fabriano Artistico with no
additional sizing at all (Fabriano 5 also works). 

I do not use Tween with salt prints, but I have first tried to use Platine
unsized, then with a corn starch sizing. Both did not work. What percentage
of gelatine do you use for sizing, and do you size and salt with one
solution (as, if I remember correctly, described in your manual), of with
different ones?
