Paper found with surface like darkroom air-dried fiber glossy

2005-03-27 by Scott Jones

For traditional darkroom workers, that air-dried glossy fiber paper 
surface has always held a special appeal. The d-max is great and the 
gloss subtle (creamy) without the sparkles of, say, Epson luster or 
semi-gloss. I have never found anything like it in the inkjet papers 
that I have seen until I ran across something quite by accident while 
investigating another product.

Pictorico seems to have a product called Premium Photo Glossy Paper 
(NOT their Photo Gallery Glossy Paper which is  high mirror-like
glossy and very similar to Epson glossy). I just ran a print and 
compared side by side with darkroom produced air-dried Ilfold 
Multigrade IV glossy and the sheen and surface are almost identical.
I was amazed. (I have no connection with this company of any kind).

Has anybody had any experience with this paper or have any coments???

Cheers.
