Hi group

what would be a "normal" level of fluctuation in the curves when testing
palladium ?

I have done some tests but find it hard to pin down the results. The curves
tends to vary up to 0.1 to 0.2 Lg H in the midtones, (toe area & sensitivity
point tend to be reasonably similar, D max stable but position varies),
basically the contrast is unstable. Is this just a result of uneven coating
or other factors, my measuring, or simply is palladium printing this
"unstable" ?
