I presume this is the new version (I bought this paper about 6 months ago).
It does have a tendency to get out of control and the blacks explode all over the place. I believe that the additive C in the SE5 can counter this, but this was just a throwaway experiment at the end of a session that I was using another paper. Next time I might add some C and see what happens. The other version I did of this was much smoother (using Adox Vario Classic).
Has that great snowy softness that I suspect would be lessened in a trad B&W print. The lith effect is so subtle as well. Yes it has a pink tinge but one which still looks right, although it must be nearly impossible to convey this in a narrative description alone.
Thanks, everyone. There isn't much colour in my liths on this paper so far. Toning brings it up a bit though. The paper is very 'gritty' and can easily run away from you.
