This paper is a little slower than Foma's other offerings, which I like. I also like the slightly textured surface. Last but not least, it dries fairly flat I would buy again.

Love Fomatone. Both matte & glossy. Use religiously? ( I normally print a little larger, so hope you?ll keep both in stock in 11x14 size).

The warm tonal range this paper produces is not merely a result of the emulsion alone; it is also influenced by the type of developer used. This interaction can yield a spectrum of brown-green to warm-brown hues, enriching your prints with a diverse palette of warm halftones.
