Digital BW, The Print

Hi Olivier,

I normally print on matte papers, but I've just been printing on some 
samples of the the Davinci Fibre Gloss and am very impressed. In fact I 
wrote

"I seem to be getting results that match almost anything I made in the 
darkroom. Superb blacks, excellent gradation. Almost anything, because 
although the paper looks good, it just lacks the subtle pearly 
luminosity of the Agfa Record Rapid I used many years ago, of course 
long since out of production because of its high cadmium content, which 
led to changes in its formulation. But I'd certainly be hard put to go 
into the darkroom today and make a better print."

Regards,

Peter Marshall
