The issue I am having is washing out the unexposed chemistry. This needs
to be removed to ensure the longevity of the print, as well as giving
clear highlights. I decided to wash the coated paper immediately
after drying as the influience of heat, very low exposure etc. etc.
can be eliminated from the possible causes.

I really don't think the issue is with the specific papers, but
a problem with my technique. As this list is archived, I decided
not to "name names" as someone could search the archive and
incorrectly think there is a problem with a paper when there is
no such problem. I will say that all except one are 100% rag. All
are HP / smooth surface, and they are good quality papers (Arches,
Fabriano, Saunders, etc.)

Thank you for your reply.
