Wow does the Berrger COT paper react totally differently than the Hahnemuhle paper. I did the exact same thing 2 times, with the Hahnemuhle paper it spread easily and quickly but with the Berrger COT it just got absorbed into the paper very fast and there was not near enough chemistry to coat. It was a total disaster coating wise.
Was trying to figure out what I did wrong, I think the paper may not have been wet enough (enough humidity) pre-coating. I might also need extra drops of chemicals to coat the same size sheet which sucks big time if true and would eliminate this paper from my repertoire.
Will do some more reading and ask some questions of the pro Platinum-Palladium printers on this one.
