Am ordering paper and have heard elswhere that the old standards have gone away

My current favorite paper for bromoil is Slavich grade 2 from Freestyle.

Matte or Glossy

Matte. I never use glossy for bromoil. Either semi-matte or matte.

Here is perhaps the only(?) dedicated bromoil paper out there. Also good for carbro... http://www.bromoil.com/products-supplies.html

Gene, do you have any idea whether the Slavich would be suitable for carbro? It seems like if it's suitable for bromoil, it must not have the gelatin super-coat.

I am currently using Fomabrom VI 123 from Fomafoto.no with great sucsess. But i have a large supply of Ilford Art300 wich i dont like for my normal photostyle. But have anyone tested Art300 with Bromoil? And how was the results?

Any tips on using the Fomabrom, do you us a soft or hard ink. I found the Fomabrom 112 quite hard to use when doing a workshop.
