Bienfang 360 - crisp detail, more difficult to coat and print big but
excellent paper,

Simili Japon - warm but soft paper surface requires less solution and
easy touch when wet

Arches Platine - hit and miss paper, good batches , and bad batches

Cranes Parchment good detail prints well, easy to coat, light weight

Lenox 100, mysterious red spots, look like rubber roller, creamy

I have also run some recent test on Stonehenge again. It worked for a
long while back in the early 90's than stopped for a time, and now
appears to be working fine again.

Papers change as they sit, so what might work for someone may not always
work for you.

Subject: Papers for Platinum Printing

I would be interested in hearing the opinions of platinum printers
regarding what they consider to be the best papers when the main
criteria are, 1) shows fine detail, and 2) clears easily. And I mean
papers used out of the package, i.e, with no additional sizing!
