Hi Keith,
Sure, when I use a good paper for platinum( without to much carbonate in it
and with good sizing), I use it without sizing it.
These paper are well known and use by many : arches platine and Crane’s and
other described.on the net.
Sizing help when you use a paper which don’t work at first.
I use it when the paper is too (basic) in opposition to acid.( in this case
you’ve get a really contrasty image some graining and the paper stay brown
and is hard to clear).
Before I use to give a acid bath to such paper but I find that a good acid
sizing avoid this step.
I use it on paper like Lana royal, some batch of aquarelle arches, and
others.
In the second case I use it on too soft paper which absorb the solution too
quickly. Here I talk of BFK, moulin du gué, and soe thin japanese paper.
In this case I can avoid adding the oxalic acid in the sizing.
Amicalement
