Wendy: Internally sized. Very textured surface -- not good or bad, just a
question of whether you want that or not for a given image. Tough, heavy
paper. YOU HAVE TO "RE-ACIDIFY" IT for pt/pd printing, according to Stewart
Melvin and others. Stewart describes the simple procedure for this in his
cover article of View Camera Magazine (2/3 issues ago). The article is
generally about doing gum over platinum.... There is a good discussion of
numerous papers in Dick Arentz's book Platinum and Palladium Printing....
I've been using Platine also and like it fine, but am thinking about doing a
little branching out. -jeff buckels (albuquerque nm)
