Camden, it's beatiful. However, I personally would use a less costly process
(toned Vandyke or Kallitype, toned/untoned Cyanotype - I happen to like
plain cyanotype on off-white paper much, and maybe gum) given the fact the
original image lacks fine tonal gradations (presumably that is - I perceive
it as a silhuette) which is where the Pt/Pd process excells. Perhaps you
decided so because Pt/Pd is extremely achival, just as papyrus is... Anyway,
thanks for sharing your experience - you're the person who I'll contact for
help, if I decide to print on papyrus in the future...
Regards,
Loris.

Alright, everyone, here's my first successful print on papyrus:

Please critique! (As much as a scan will allow at least)
Thanks to Eric for the blotter tip; that turned out to be the key.
