DEAR DON AND CHRISTINE,
I HAVE tried Palladio and it was rather nice. It was later in their
history so they had probably worked out some of the bugs. It would be a nice
alternative...as it were...though normally I would prefer to coat my own. I
see it as a way to get people into it. If I had never made a print on the
ready made paper and seen the beauty of a platinum print that I had created
myself I might not have indulged in the rest.
My two cents were spent on one very tiny corner of one sheet of their
paper! But we pay for convenience...don't we?
CHEERS!
BOB KISS

excited. I've never used their product but from most of the reviews I have
read their paper was lacking in uniformity, was expensive, and apparently
the market rejected it. Since this is a niche product for a very vertical
market where most of the practioners of alt roll their own regardless of the
choosen process, what can this product provide to the alt worker?
