That answers my question anyway. The paper is made in three grades Special, Normal, Hard (Freestyle is calling them 2, 3, 4). If the "2" is contrasty then I'll probably like it. Thanks. I'm going to order some to try.

I am not sure what you are referring to. In the Freestyle catalog they list three grades, 2, 3, and 4. I have been using the grade 2 and it seems pretty contrasty to me.
