Developer and clearing agent for Palladio Velvet pre-coated palladium paper?

[digital_archivist]

I recently purchased a starter pack of Palladio Soft Velvet pre-coated paper on the auction site. Apparently, this was sold as part of a kit with the developer and clearing agent.

Bernie's Photo in Pittsburgh (it's been a long time since I was in Pittsburgh, and even longer since I visited Bernie's on the Northside) has some of the original developer and clearing agents for sale. The developer (on eBay here) states that it's 'citrate based.' Would anyone have a recommendation on using Sodium Citrate with Palladio Velvet? I'm guessing Ammonium Citrate might be a little cold for my tastes.

Similarly, the original clearing agent is EDTA based (also on eBay here). Any experience with mixtures and workflows?

Since I only have ten sheets of 5x7 paper, I don't want to lose any more than necessary with testing.

I have no experience with Palladio, but I attended the Photo West trade show in 1989/1990, watched their demonstration, and picked up their handouts....and as luck would have it, I have the envelope containing their catalog/instruction manual info right at hand.
PM me your address, and I'll mail it to you.

That's very generous of you! I'll PM you momentarily.

Thanks!

This post from a Palladio rep might be helpful. And the whole fascinating discussion/thread regarding the Palladio paper at the time.

Very cool! Thank you.

It would be very interesting if the stuff is still good after all these years. Please share your results/impressions if you can.
