Hi - I've been working for a bit with the Crane's Weston Diploma Parchment Paper for Ziatypes lately. So far, I'm pretty unhappy with it compared to COT320 or even the discontinued Platinotype, which worked fine for me. The stuff lacks wet strength, and well, it abrades easier than most papers. The warm tone of the paper is so-so, I can't seem to get used to it. Perhaps it's just me, but I'm really bummed that Crane's Weston Diploma Parchment Paper is the "worthy replacement" for Platinotype.
Has anyone found a suitable replacement for Crane's Platinotype? I was having pretty consistent results with it. I'm looking for a paper that comes in sheets a bit bigger than 8x10, for 8x10 contacts. Zia is not super picky about papers, however papers still make a big difference.
Any suggestions appreciated...
