It's beautiful, responsive paper. The semi-matte is just right, not glossy but picks up more detail than the matte. It's expensive, so if I were more organized, I might use it only for final prints; but, I'm not and I don't.

This was recommended to me by my photo teacher at The Museum School here in Boston. I have had some great results, and I love the richness of the blacks it produces. I will be returning to this again and again, I am pretty sure.

Ilford paper is as good as it gets. Very consistent between batches, and if used correctly excellent tonal range

They are my FIRST choice for paper and film. Ilford is the last company who still loves the Analog Community. I will always use their paper and film.

I used this paper to make prints from my B&W negatives for a group show I was in. From what I had read it said it would look great when toned with selenium toner and it did.

My personal views: 1. It is a really good paper with showing more details. 2. It will be better to develop with Ansco 130 developer @ 72F. 3. if you use it a lot and want to get consistent results, you should buy 250 sheet package. It cost a little cheap.

This paper is amazing! I ordered it for our photo toning assignment in my photography class and I was amazed at the results! The warmtone comes out with a slightly toned shade to it after printing and when I added the toning processes to my prints I was so happy with the results. Our assignment was to make 13 consistently toned prints that look identical and then we did a photo exchange. We all got a copy of each others prints!!!

It is my primary paper for my 4x5 and 8x10 enlarging work. It can reflect good tonality and sharpness from the negatives. It costs a little more than other VC papers, but you can get more satisfaction.

In lieu of the demise of Agfa papers and the disappearance of Portriga Rapid, this is one of the best papers available on the market
