Have you ever printed PD/PL on inkjet o Dye Paper?

Dear All,

I tried to look for this my question on Apug, but I didn't find anything, so I ask this question.
I've at work some of this kind of paper, so Have you ever used it to make Platinum/Palladium prints?
I have some Museo paper "velvet" cotton 100%, and I would like to try, and I hope to do it the next week.
If you had used it what papers did you use?

I tried on an Epson paper and it simply soaked in all the solution......didn't work at all.

I tried a couple of inkjet papers several years ago for pt/pd and they both failed. My guess is there's either a pH issue (alkaline paper = BAD) or whatever they coat the paper with is not compatible with the process chemistry. However, there are a zillion inkjet papers out there now, so who knows...

I have tried a number of inkjet papers for coating emulsions, and they all work and fail in different fashions. For example, they may coat well but give low speed or stained images or vice versa. The Museo paper was one I tried.

It is probably the sort of mordant used in the paper that causes these effects. Of course, emulsion coating is diffeent than Pt/Pd. Who knows.

I am liable to coat anything. I even coated the back of an invoice I recently got from Cranes and it coated beautifully. I have wasted pt/pd on inkjet paper and there are probably several reasons it doesn't work. I have had some success coating the back of silver gel paper that has been fixed. I have a whole box of 8x10 single weight azo I have fixed out. If I had known how much people love it and how long it lasts I would have sold it instead.

Thank a lot for your reply, I'll try this paper, and after I'll give my opinion...
It's a pity for a box of 8x10 Azo... I use it...
