Digital BW, The Print

Thanks for the reply. I searched eBay "fibre" and got 7 matches this
morning. Only one looked interesting to me and they didn't mention the
weight.

I never did extensive printing, but the single weight fibre glossy still has
the looks after many years (some paper had more silver).

I played alot with paper negs(internegs, really) in the darkroom back then,
and now that I have a Pressman to learn, I like the idea of slow paper negs.

I'm filing your Tip,

Thanks,
gar

  Gary-

  As you're discovering, there is probably no such critter any more.
  But if the issue is getting it into a film holder-I just tested a
  piece of photo RC paper in a film holder and it goes in easily
  enough. He'll probably have to use VC paper, in which case I would
  suggest shooting through a heavy yellow filter.

  Luck,

  Steve Karafyllakis
