Chris,
Is the bleding in the developer or during the washing. It is unusual to see
that for Palladium. It sounds like you solution is evaporating too fast
before it gets a chance to penetrate the paper. It just sits on the surface
of the paper and would get washed away during or after the development. Has
the humidity changed? Maybe you can humidify your paper or simply add more
water to the sensitizer to allow longer absorption time.
