Ilford MG IV RC for myself and quick proofs, and FB for prints I'm selling. I actually prefer the look of RC, but FB is so much easier to spot.

Dave,

Kentmere Fineprint FBVC for 7x17 contacts, 16x20 cut in half with two test strips left over. Same paper for 8x10 negatives enlarged. If I am going to enlarge them though, I would rather go same paper 20x24. Ilford FP4 and HP5 in Rollo Pyro.

For contact printing......Lodima!

Thanks for the input,

The formats that I am requesting info for is 7 x 17 and 14 x 17 thus 16 x 20 paper would be the minimum size for the contacts. The enlargements would be from 6 x 7 , 4 x 5 and 5 x 7 negs....

I was in on the first order of the lodima 7.5 x 10 inches and will be using it for the whole plate and smaller etc.
