You're right, Bill, about the tonal range, detail, even grain (horrors), but I've given up ferrotyping since Kodak stopped making that beautiful Polymax Fine Art F single weight. The Pakomax still does a good job flattening my double weight prints....

Amateur stepping up to bat: *why* does no one ferrotype prints these days? With that rotten plastic paper, I can understand it, but there's still some good *real* paper (requiring the death of trees) out there. I always thought that an "F" (Kodak's designation for glossy) print, ferrotype-dried (hot or cold), was the bees knees for showing fine detail and incredibly long tonal scale. But...what do I know? I can't even be sure that I can get into trouble, although I'm a fair hand at messes.
