Hi Everyone!

I have been thinking about what happened to the process of ferrotyping... 

I ferrotyped a few Glossy "F" Kodak papers myself,
but usually I preferred a matt surface 
so I did not continue the practice very long.

What about those who you preferred that glossy look?

What happened to Ferrotyping?
Did FB papers eventually come with enough gloss 'built-in', that the ferrotype 
dryer died out?

Some Seven Specfic questions:

1.
What were your favorite papers to Ferrotype and Why?

2.
I think Kokak instructions usually stated that Glossy papers could be 
ferrotyped.
Did anyone ferrotype other non- "F Glossy" surface papers such as Matt, or 
High-Lustre?
What were the results like?

3.
Does anyone still practice this? 
Why?

4.
What paper gave you the best, highest gloss imaginable?

5.
Did anyone notice any differences between manufacturers in the gloss of their 
papers?

6.
Does anyone know of any glossy FIBER BASED papers that were NOT for ferrotyping?

7.
Does anyone know of any glossy FIBER BASED papers that were VERY GLOSSY without 
ferrotyping?
(that is, that really did not require ferrotyping).

Thanks!
