John, I hade to rule infinity  out also with Piezotones as the dmax just 
wasn't there.
Beautiful paper though and well suited for color work and some BW stuff. 
Ultrachrome Black not that hot either on this paper compared the Hahnemule.
3-4 times the price of Silver fiber paper!  I'll pass for now.
