David, It was in one of my post, but not meant to say the palladium was
bad because it was old, but rather a known good thing that would not
have changed. This opposed to a new batch of palladium that might have
been mixed incorrectly. Sorry I lead you to believe otherwise.

David, Test your ferric. Also were these made from powder or did you
buy liquid? If your paper has been sitting around, what has changed?
Seasonal changes can affect your process. Coating, soak in, paper
speed, can all be effected by changes in relative humidity. Is all the
chemistry new? Old palladium mixed with new ferric?
If powdered ferric, did you let it mix and sit or try to use it right
after mixing.
We can all postulate about your situation but it would be best if you
elaborate on your entire process.

To answer Kerik's question. Yes it is the same batch of paper that I
have
successfully used. The paper is A. Platine. I did notice on the
developed paper
that there was a kind of a dark thin meandering ring about 1" off the
image.
