I've used a lot of it its 100% rag paper state of the art NOT trying in any
way to emulate the darkroom LOOK. It's what you'd expect a top art museum or
gallery to order. People who know what's going on.
Ironically to some while we'd always mat our darkroom prints on 100% rag
board there never was a darkroom paper that was 100% rag there was always
wood pulp in it.
When coating a platinum or Palladium print you'd always have that option of
course. The best water color papers made for hundreds of years.
But not darkroom pre coated paper.
Hahnemühle has been making such water color and now inkjet papers since the
15th century.
They also made the paper the Germans used for counterfeit currency during
WWII. So I have some Brit friends who have mixed feelings about the stuff.
They have joined the band wagon now and using terms such as "Pearl surface".
Which is what Ilford of course called their RC paper which very poorly
emulated dried down fiber gloss paper.
Now they try to emulate a bad emulation.
