My favorite was Kodak Elite Fine Art.
One of the versions of New Oriental Seagull, while different, was good too.
I could make Ilford Galerie work pretty well, but I had more and more

Right now, I do not really like any papers. I am wondering about just
making contact prints on Azo from my 4x5 negatives. I have given up on
color because I just cannot get results I like with color materials.
