I think that contact prints on silver chloride paper tend to look
best; I still have a pile of Kodak Azo for doing this.  Too many Pt/Pd
prints get done on papers with surfaces that rob all the resolution
from the neg anyway, leaving you with something you may aswell ahve
done with an inkjet neg.  I have an exquisite sample Pt contact print
from a pre-World War One Ilford Catalogue, back when commercially
available Pt paper was made.  Commercial Pt paper coated onto a 300
gsm stock like Forte used for Polywarmtone would just be beautiful.  I
can only dream.
