I've now printed a few negs on ART 300. I must say I love the emulsion and love the way it tones but I can't get past the "eggshell" surface, it never looks truly sharp to me. It would be great to have this emulsion on a glossy paper!

I have only used a few sheets of this paper, but I find that it would be a situational pick for my work. The texture of the surface can obscure small details and "interrupt" smooth areas of the image. However, I think it could be a good choice for images that have texture you want to enhance. It also seems to do a decent job with disguising areas of slight missed focus depending on the scene.

Depending on your lighting I do find that the eggshell sheen can make it difficult to make out detail in zone 3 of the image.
