I can go thru a box of 100 sheets in a 10-11 hour printing session , 20-30 negatives , it's just not feasible for me to start coating , I need to print not make paper , once in a while I could print a special negative on something different , but in general work flow Azo was a king...
Flashing with Azo is unbelievable
What I am saying is I am a supporter of anybody that is able to give me what I need , it's a selfish thing of course,
if someone could produce platinum/palladium paper that I could use out of a box , I'd be all over it...

Anyone want to donate a sheet of Grade 2 Azo so I know what I missed?
Joe;
My darkroom is 7' x 14' with a wet and dry side. The wet side is the only side used for making and coating. You don't need a temperature controlled hot plate to coat, just the ability to reach and hold about 105 F (100 - 110) range for the time you coat to keep the emulsion warm. You also don't need a blade as there are many alternatives. But then, I'm not selling any of this except the blade, and I'm exiting that as soon as the stock is sold out, which probably won't be any time soon. I'm not having any more made, I just have the ones that are being repolished.

I would say that you should take this up with Michael Smith regarding the characteristics of Azo paper. I think that their opinion and the preponderance of data show that you are probably in a small minority. OTOH, just about any paper can be recreated with enough effort and someone to judge how the results look as experiments progress.
