Those will all work. Some people treat Socorro with Oxalic acid for DOP palladium. And I don't think COT 320 is similar to Platinotype but is instead very similar to Arches Platine.eggshell said:Do any of these papers need pre-treatment before using for ziatype?
Socorro, Platinotype, Cranes Kid, & Cot320. Recommendation appreciated too.
Thanks!

That is a great Idea, have you seen any problems with even stainning?Kerik said:Mike,
Just a quick suggestion. If you have a paper that you like to print with, but it's too white for you, you can turn it into a warmer paper by tea-staining the finished print. I happen to like the color that Celestial Season's Earl Gray gives. Use very weak tea. One tea bag in 1 or 2 liters of water. Soak for a few minutes with some agitation followed by a final wash. Works great and makes your darkroom smell good, too. I don't suggest tea staining prior to printing because that caused fogging with some papers I tried.

Hence the suggestion to agitate. If you leave it in the tray and walk away for a while, you will likely get uneven staining.Jorge said:That is a great Idea, have you seen any problems with even stainning?
