Hi Folks,

Working with Arches Platine for Palladium with the Na2 method of contrast
control.... the blacks just don't seem as rich and velvety as with COT
320.... I'm coating with magic brush and prehumidifying the paper. It is
hard to describe the black, but is just seems overal lighter than it should
be ...sort of veiled looking...and I don't think it is solarization at all.

Any thoughts or suggestions? Is this just not a good paper to use? Am I
spoiled with Cot 320? Is the paper not as good as it used to be?
