With graded fiber-base b&w papers coming rapidly to extinction due to the market onslaught of digital imagery, traditional fine-art photographers and darkroom technicians are finding it increasingly difficult to find museum-quality exhibition paper. Ilford has maintained and excelled at sustaining a high-quality, high-silver content paper in this rapidly-changing and volatile market. I highly recommend and encourage the use of this paper -- especially to new photo students who wish to uphold the high standards traditional fine-art photography.
I love this paper. Absolutely beautiful tones. I've had great success with this paper.
