Digital BW, The Print

Hi Ron;

The original Galerie was a beautiful warmish FB paper, I used it a few 
times and loved it when I did; Unfortunately, the inkjet papers by the 
same name have nothing in common with it, except the name. The inkjet 
papers are RC, and resemble Ilford's Multigrade RC papers. Some of the 
new generation of cotton glossy and semi-gloss papers get a lot closer, 
but we're still not quite there yet, most of us are still looking for 
the right combination of longevity, Dmax, brightness, base color and 
surface texture that made many of the halide papers so nice. Of course, 
that wasn't a single look, it was a range, so best advice is try as 
many as you can and see what rings your bell.
