You might be interested in the new Ilford paper. Not at all like Brovira or RR but it is quite unlike anything else on the market. It is a very heavy weight semi matt textured silver gelatin art paper on a Hahnemühle base. Slightly warmtone. Great Dmax. Variable contrast.Takes pencil. Haven't tried handcolouring. It will be called ILFORD MULTIGRADE ART 300 and will be launched at Focus On Imaging in the UK in March. I have been testing it and put a description in my previous 2 newsletters. If anyone wants them let me know. Best wishes Tim ............................................................................ ........................ Tim Rudman. Contemporary fine art photography.

AFAIK it was the identical paper. -- Richard Knoppow Los Angeles, CA, USA dickburk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ============================================================================ ================================= To unsubscribe from this list, go to www.freelists.org and logon to your account (the same e-mail address and password you set-up when you subscribed,) and unsubscribe from there. ============================================================================================================To unsubscribe from this list, go to www.freelists.org and logon to your account (the same e-mail address and password you set-up when you subscribed,) and unsubscribe from there.
