Clayton,

No, I haven't really because for me the texture of VFA is too coarse.
But just out of curiosity I did print one gray wedge on VFA paper
(Working space: Gray Gamma 2.2. ABW settings: Media type/VFA.
Tone/Dark) and it gave me a very smooth curve with a higher Dmax than on
Photo Rag. The 'dark half' of the curve (the area below rgb128) was a
bit too dark, though. Maybe that could be solved by choosing Tone/
Normal or Light, although that will raise the light part of the curve too.

Regards,

Igor
