How did you reach this conclusion? By using the same exposure for both? Or by taking time to actually test them, exposing and developing them to reach approx. same contrast?
FREESTYLE made the prints, about 3"x5'in size. They were THEIR finished prints, & FS did all the processing. THEY said they used the same dev & times for both. They were trying to prove how "GOOD" EDU was compared w?Ilford, & costing less money. But they couldn't fool an experienced eye like mine. "Thinner" tonality is NOT as full & rich a tonality as you would expect from a major paper.
