I've tried this (with Eboni black) and an 1160 and didn't find any
problems with adhesion (though I did leave it a couple of weeks after
printing before trying to use it - accidental rather than planned). It
does seem to have enough contrast for vandyke brown (and silver
gelatin too), but the 'pizza wheel marks are clearly visible on both
hand coated vandyke and gloss silver (Ilford Cooltone RC). In
addition, microbanding is visible in both prints, more clearly in the
Ilford Cooltone print, but still visible in the vandyke. You may find
these less of a problem on newer printers; I don't have any to test!
