There are many many papers that work, and you don't need to get one
specifically made for platinum printing. And quite honestly the biggest
problem many printers have with platinum/palladium is failure to understand
the importance of humidity; both during coating and during exposure that
effects how the coating is absorbed into the paper as well as speed and
contrast. 

With all the changes in inks and printers over the last few years, digital
negatives to me, provide a new opportunity to play with PS than many other
in the digital landscape.
