A New Kentmere Fan

[KEK]

I was told by Kentmere that Kentona in particular can't take a long wash and they said 45 min wet for there entire line of papers. Since following there advice I've been very with Kentmere.

Did get to try a quick try at the Foma chamois today. The surface is extremely textured, and it shows in the prnt. Also, it is very warm-toned as developed in PF130.Also decided to compare it to Kentmere Art Classic and Forte Polywarmtone, all fb. Used ilford 21/2 filter on all, for some reason, probably because it was in there. Anyway, of the three fb papers, i would have to rate the Art Classic as the most pleasing to my eye, Polywarmtone next, and Foma last. Just for grins, ran a print with Agfa MCC sm, my go-to paper. I would still have to give a begrudging nod to Art Classic fb. I plan to work with the Foma to see if I can cool it off with a some LPD at a low dilution. I reminds me of the old studio portrait papers. It has a definite place, but for my purposes, I will have to be quite selective.
