Digital BW, The Print

Tyler,
Speaking of Silver Rag, are you getting excessive curl (much more then when Silver Rag first came out) on last third of a roll? I contacted Dave at Crane and he never admits or denies that something changed, but they are working on something (classic answer). Almost impossible to use. Reminds me of those snappy clip metal things that use to come with Epson printers to keep stored rolls from unrolling :)

For a warmer base Silver Rag, after all these new papers have come along, still outperforms, and the Cone Type 5 looks great too.

If you have an HP with GO like John, or spray like the Baryta Photographique reviewer, perhaps those differences would diminish.
