Well....I printed on Zone VI graded papers and didn't think they were the
equal of then available Seagull or Portriga papers.  Or even Ilford FB
Gallery.  I _do_ recall that with the latter it was necessary to have a
tungsten inspection light, since fluorescent would "excite" the brighteners.
Aside from the fact that fluorescent takes a long time to "go off".  Dating
myself severely.  I'm meeting good photographers lately who have never used
film....

transmission. ;-)
