RE: Arches Platine

Yes very low RH% in my darkroom indeed. It is 37%. But it has always been like that.
For chrysotype this is a problem, but for palladiotype (Lithium double salt) it is OK.
A reason of my problem might be the RH% of the paper itself before coating ... to be checked.

Thanks,

Philippe

I wonder if it another face of the humidity issue. Is the humidity very
low in your studio now? I have seen drop in Dmax when printing in very low
humidity and heat drying paper.
