Last year there was a discussion about spots on Pt/Pd prints and Eric

I have just encountered red spots for the first time and am wondering if
this is speculation or certainty, and does anyone know exactly what they
are. I am printing palladium developed in K oxalate and cleared in
sulfite/EDTA.
The spots don't appear (or at least I haven't noticed them) until well into
the wash phase. The paper I'm using is the last of a batch of Lenox
purchased in '96 from Daniel Smith. Up to now it has worked beautifully, but
today 3 of 3 prints on it have red spots.
Any ideas are much appreciated. Eric? anyone else?
Regards to all,
Keith
